Nature: the great unknown
‘known’ to everyone.
The first-known
– too big to be a thing
– too general to be a cause.
The omnipresent godforce of science
– the putative power to be
– the archetypal source of everything.
A ghostly presence inhabiting every happening
– the orderer of orders
and progenitor of necessity.
The grand non-explanation
defined of itself
in being as it is
‘for no purpose’.
