It just depends on which

and how they're
hiding
Do you see
or (hear) the answers to the questions?

In the small sciences
you deduce a beginning
from an ending
of scattered breadcrumbs
that lead back
to speckled hands.
In the big sciences
you dream amongst stars
and try to bring
a new reality back
into the scope
of human eyes.
Questions of science and
progress
speak as loud as a heart
that loves knowledge,
ranging from the stars
back down to our humble
lives,
marked by experiences
unique to the one.
Are you still keeping pace?
I like the small science / big science part. (I'm an english teacher by day, but a cosmogonist by night). Funny how it starts out very e.e. cummings experimental, but ends up very straightforward lyrical--was that deliberate, or did it just work out that way?
ReplyDeleteA bit of both, actually. Originally it was supposed to be full on experimental, but it worked out so much nicer to have a blurb for each side of the coin I was trying to portray. I've been really into Sherlock Holmes lately, so that was the "small science" inspiration, and watched a movie called Hawking recently which inspired the other half. All that remained was to bring it together :)
