Complexity

take apart the pieces in this device that looks
so deceptively simplistic and you'll realize there
are enough facets to require a fourteen-page
instruction booklet that look like Morse Code
and Braille were imprinted on the pages together,

this could be a computer system, the internal plumbing
of a hole or just a moral framework that requires no
divinity whatsoever,

no matter the level of identification or magnification,
complexity begets complexity with or without a divine
intercessor, our concepts of divinity can make heads
spin but even at basest material level,

the elementary particle fails to follow any kind of
elementary schema, human knowledge is just an
approximation of the Truth or the Forms to
quote Plato's terminology,

even the exact values refuse to have their decimal
tails recur and terminate, their irrationality of it all
has a rationality all its own and a rationality for the
minute collective called the human experience,

we know life, the universe and everything can be
followed with some kind of accuracy, stunning or
not, but yet we know that change is inevitable,

at some point down the line, one astronomical
unit will no longer be an astronomical unit as we
know and understand it,

despite the complexity, the nuggets of simplicity
can be found and that may be the only comfort
we can have as our race of beings takes things apart
