Is “why” ever humble?
If we go far enough back
in the thought process itself,
where why has inception,
what assumptions do we hold
as givens and constant?
What that words will say,
that minds will have conceived of
as a “why” to ask?
What that rules, though invisible,
would beget and pervade
that forth-coming “why”?
All of this,
almost unmentionable
but given as a backdrop truth
for whatever as question,
would come forth.
That mind has summation
as made up reason
responds with “why” as the result?
Is it that
because we can declare
a future-past and a past-future,
as part of the universe,
and out of respect for this,
will impose a “why” accordingly?
Is it as if the earth itself
is an incidental mirror
for our myopia without interruption
to its substance
and lends itself to a response?
Our sense for time and space
as necessary convictions
are the primary sins
of human self-consciousness.
Are these just blundering errors
of assumption on our parts
as if we were questioning
our experiential parents,
and out of our needs,
we address them
as if our objectivity
had these innocent faces
as worthy of steadfast recognition?
Linearity may be
our most grievous crime
from our egoist positions.
For we use comparative truth
as our religion of commission
where by experience
is our most prominent weapon
of massive and inexcusable denials.
We propose, as existence,
to order from a menu,
we presuppose is there.
We make assumptions
which blossom as if
from the trees of knowledge,
that will eventually fade
and fall to the ground
as presumptions
to rot into knowledge obscurity
until broken down
into elements recycled
as historical composition
to further the forest.
And in this shadow magic,
they will arise again from within
to become future leaves
on those trees of knowledge
once again.
Are we informationally seasonal?
Are the Dick and Jane,
and Ken and Barbie
or variations of the same,
stories worth the re-telling?
I ask you.
If knowledge is the parade marshal,
are we all audience to the parade
simply by the assumptions
that precede our every “why”?
