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 © T.
