What myth these days would suffice for the scientific mind,
that it would consider ample sustenance to sate its hunger?
Denying, as it does, that science itself is simply the latest
in a long line of myths stretching back as far as big brain DNA,
that is to say, the dawn of the homo sapiens, the upright
story tellers: telling stories to give some reason light,
and to keep that black dog fear at bay each night.
Still, everyone knows, that no recipe yet discovered,
can make sense from the flour of over-sifted reductionism,
and all that you have found when you find the next smallest thing,
is the next smallest thing, and of truth it contains…nothing!
Science is the circular logic of myths, a nonsensical nautilus,
but to be fair, it does produce the most marvelous toys!

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
