Astronomer
If the universe created me
to be its cosmic conscience
And all else, I presumed to be,
turned out demonstrable nonsense
What could I say to reconcile
this awfully sickening fact
I'd concede defeat gracefully and,
take it all back
But I'm looking at the darkness
and an ever wheeling sky
knowing my ancestors learned stuff...
like the value of pi
Achieving this state of satisfaction
by the application of science
Coming to this startling conclusion,
and left our myths behind us
For some, the vast majority,
the complex need not be referred
For them the assistance of a deity,
Woo-woo, supernatural and prayer
To weep invites
rocking away pain...
To live, love
without reserves
feels bottomless...
A well not yet
empty nor full...
This demonstrable
numbness is clearly
unrecognized through
milestones or shortcomings...
Even in the midst
of this wreckage,
laughter might
restore me to
my sanity...
This was recently written after being unexpectdly seperated from my beloved job. I am still
in a state of shock so if this piece does not make sense to anybody else... Trust me, it
makes all the sense in the world in my current state of mind.
A business is clever, handsome and polite.
Linguistic, apologetic but tactics are behind.
Mathematically and politically he is honest mind,
Dramatics, gymnastics and generatic bright.
Pleasant, tranquil, psyche psychometrics bite,
The bourgeoisie possessive and proletarian prodigal,
Lucrative, ludicrous, resumable heroics skill,
Personable, arguable and a desirable diet.
Forcible, flexible and fund raiser responsible,
Likeable, sizeable and an unshakeable height,
Referable, preferable and transferable mongrel,
Credible, reproducible and decisionable slight.
Expressible, risible and a sensible detail.
Challengeable, achievable and demonstrable kite.
