Are questions and answers just human tricks?
The products of unnecessary thought?
Of course we need them, say, for politics
And policies that seem as though they’re bought.
But outside of man’s own affairs, can we
Expect to understand all of nature
As though our minds are large enough to see
It? We keep on assuming an answer
Exists. What if there’s not a question?
Before we came, the lizard reigned supreme,
Despite his brain not being the best one.
Yet unlike him, we’ve made our mother scream
At this great mess we’ve made of her clean house.
Is it our consciousness that’s the real louse?
