Villanelle: What We Know Is What We Can Prove On Earth

Villanelle: What we know is what we can prove on earth

What we know is what we can prove on earth
   Whether it be by rule of thumb or by sum
Far-flung worlds who see us here must bake mirth

Two and two’s not what 2 x 2 bring forth
   Add man to woman on hands knees four-some
What we know is what we can prove on earth

Way out on the outback of Big Bang birth
   Adding man on woman might be boredom
Far-flung worlds who see us here must bake mirth

Here we talk as if the Truth we un-earth
   The moment Milky Way began to hum
What we know is what we can prove on earth

The gods we raise all had some kind of birth
   Then the Lord Almighty rules He Kingdom
Far-flung worlds who see us here must bake mirth

Yet Man on Earth can split hairs not in dearth
Conceive Devil to make equal the sum
What we know is what we can prove on earth
Far-flung worlds who see us here must bake mirth
