Ensconced in a narrow field,
I contented myself
Playing with components
Familiar and accessible.
Arrangements and
Rearrangements revealed
Minor inconsistencies,
Yet of them I was only
peripherally aware.
I turned my attention
To unresolved questions
Trying to piece what I could
Into a mythos that would
Help me to make sense.
Mental knots now in focus
Refused to untie
Fractal tapestries beneath
The surface lie
Soon the blocks
Once so reliably stable
Crumbled under
Closer examination
New blocks were found,
Discovered
For they were always
Neglectedly present
Astonishing Reality
makes the imagination
shudder at the pretension
that one would ever
conceive a world
