Carnival of Confusion (a poem)

 

Woke to confusion
simplified streaming politics
hand shaken shoulder
archaic rumbles of discontent
deep in the bellly of the beast
brought the cave of reality
to the bright light of fusion

Quark-built complete complex of compresence
economy of ideas consolidated like wealth
in a moment of sangfroid
when all was real like bits of a matrix
Democritus took Newton's spinning bucket too far
Wheeler's retro-causality
certainty undermined by an existential doubt
meditations upon a method being-for-itself
epistemologically other; ideas of ideas

Descartes pinched himself, then Sally did
with Marx selling seashells by the shore
of time and plutocrats, Walruses and automats
awoke in dogmatic slumber
before pure reason empirically seasoned
comprehended causality as formations of judgments
posteriori, a priori, synthetic a priori
carnivals of creativity
word universes of propositions and logics
described the great show on Earth.
