Most of all the world is a place where parts of wholes are described
Within an overarching paradigm of clarity and accuracy
The context of which makes possible an
Underlying sense of the way it all fits together
Despite our collective tendency not to conceive of it as such
But then again the world without end
Is a place where souls are combined
But with an overbearing feeling of disparity and disorderliness
To ignore it is impossible without
Getting oneself in all kinds of trouble
Despite one's best intentions not to get entangled with it so much
Meanwhile the statues are bleeding green
And others are saying things much better than we ever could
As the quiet becomes suddenly verbose
And the hell is heralding the size of nickels
And the street corners are gnashing together like the gears
Inside the head of some omniscient engineer
And downward flows the garnered wisdom that has never died
And finally we opened the box, we couldn't find any rules
Our heads are reeling with the glut of possibilities, contingencies
But with ever increasing faith we
Decided to go ahead and just ignore them
Despite tremendous pressure to capitulate and faint
So instead we went ahead to fabricate a catalogue of unstable elements
Modicums and particles of non-zero total strangeness
For brief moments which amount to nothing
More than tiny fragments of a finger snap
And meanwhile we're furiously sneaking green
And the map has started tearing along its creases due to overuse
When in reality it's never needed before
And the air is withholding the sound of its wellspring
And our heads are approaching a density reminiscent
Of the infinite connectivity of the center of the sun
And therein lies the garnered wisdom that has never died
Expectation leads to disappointment
If you don't expect something big, huge, and exciting
Usually, um
I don't know
Just not as
