Limited Vision
A poem
Published in

what if gravity and the physical world
have no meaning elsewhere
the stars shine for us
burning out, moving on
as humans understand
what of the elements
could the universe also contain
other scientific principles
a complete new (to us) set of laws
neither physical nor chemical
we see things in relative size
a virus, a walrus, a moon
vision is limited
and so humanity
is bound by our feet
on the ground,
looking up.
