Poem #14

Philosophers speak mightily,
Assuming deeply 
That there is some intricate meaning.
Psychologists insist its 
Just survival of the fittest.
But for whom does nature insist 
That humans go on anyway? 
For the stars, for the blackness?

I propose that nature persists 
In the same way 
A shooting star does,
For no greater reason 
Than to just to keep going, 
We exist for the sake of inertia, 
And motion ends. 
Just as well, 
That’s something too.
