Heart of Kudzu
"The universe is an implacable force sans any intention period."
-- Physics 101,
Lesson 1: "The Horror! The Horror!"
* * *
In Dixie, all us kin with kinfolk breed,
like that ol' weed -- a funny kind o' stuff --
that got a thing like us for its own seed,
and likewise keeps a-seedin' plenty 'nough;
while like my cousin Sissy it be tough,
what with it surely havin' one que*r name,
and like my first true love, my brother Buff,
it climbs on any hind or rotted game;
while like my Granny Moo, my second flame,
it ain't but dumber than a cow's patoot,
and like my pee-pee here it got no aim,
or for a rubber gives a dadgum hoot;
why, that ol' weed cain't even THINK right clear --
like Pa on gettin' stuck up Granny's rear.

a dedication of Respect
for
the Pain inflicted
by a cosmos
sans consciousness
a revolving helios sonnet spenserian satire menippean on
the void
idealized
january, 2023 -- the universe reduced still
countless quantum particles of force
mechanically pushing countless quantum particles of matter
throughout a vast
abyss
