Possible-probable-certain.
Perhaps
there are discrete bubbles
Of descriptive
states of being
Or of things
in and of themselves.
Perhaps it
is all nothing more than
Laws of
scale creating continuums
With overlapping
bubbles or circles
That confuse
and perplex a mind’s need
For clarity
and cohesion.
Perhaps the
mind’s feeble set of skills
Fail at
solving conundrums.
Perhaps
uncertainty principles and
Incompleteness
theorems are thrown aside,
because the
mind shuts out what is
difficult to
know.
Is that why so
many don’t know the difference
Between what
is possible and what is probable?
Is that why improbable
conspiracy theories prevail
Despite the
age of enlightenment?
Is that why the
earth’s temperatures continue to rise,
why rapid-fire
weapons are hawked to civilians,
why our poor, our immigrants, and our refugees are belittled,
why peace on
earth is no closer today than it was yesterday—
why our children
die preventable, senseless deaths?
