INTRO TO WESTERN METAPHYSICS

And then—out
of the primeval slime
of Time

which has ever been
sluicing through the grates
of Existence

crawled Structure
with that quick cement
of difficult consonants

and Practicality 
with its similar mix 
of reinforced K sounds and T’s

to ask: What is that? Where is it from?
How come? And where is it
going to fit?


Shock and Awe thought this was
the new ground 
of Reality—whereas

Diffidence saw
it was
just an emergent property

but was far too shy
to say anything—and even later on
when it finally

tried, it was 
still too polite to really 
strongly disagree.
