To Ask, To Cry

atoms and electrons arranged, 
caused, acts originating 
from absolute nothingness. 

the effect, mater, now matters, 
a platform for poets, 
rational thinkers, and 

serious inquirers.  
planting two feet into 
ground that isn’t preexistent, 

baffling, the vast numbers 
whom didn’t see it. 
content to conclude

planetary beauty an
entitlement, her order
the staple, stable science

serves bland pastiche on plates.
is it not worthy of further 
study or consideration?

but to ask, an axiom acts
and transcends the empirical;
to cry, inclines his Holy Hands.
