THE TYRANNY OF PARSIMONY

If the one thing which 
Nature can't abide 
is a vacuum, then 

how is it possible 
that we abhor 
redundancy? 

Shouldn't we too 
embrace life's 
many multiplicities

which provide 
such good insurance 
for obliqueness 

and endurance? Instead, 
we fear variety
of experience 

because we think 
it might blur 
the unique;

we're convinced 
that bounty 
and strict repetition 

might obscure 
the one lonely 
and mythical angle 

from which Truth
can be glimpsed 
instead of just wrangled.
