consists
of things
plus their appearance—
whereas
realness
is what persists in things
without such
interference.

If you wish
to know the difference
between science
and fiction,
picture photons,
sparticles,
negative ions
all crossing the Rubicon
of chaos
and darkness
and never once pinging
GPS for directions.

The Satan
of Milton
today would be
sad
to see this ragged
culture
feign its
expertise on God.
