what if dark mattered

what if dark matter, 

as if a concept development,

is actually only reflective 

of its conceptual construction

rather than its intended use?

what if it is asking the universe

to present, in a manner

that accommodates our understanding's method?

as if a premise of our need

that our mind-work can come to justify 

as its existence?

as if understanding is the means 

of species' mindful advancement

and that advancement takes mindful

as its ticket to ride?

the premise may be

that we expect understanding to be

our means of exploration to expand and include,

as if we then are part of a greater whole,

as understanding would experience it.

what if the technical skills of understanding

are not in any way efficient,

except for pretense of bystander-understanding?

that they don't actually integrate or immerse,

they just create a lingo of converse

and we knowledgeably spectate away? 

so we didn't become part of whatever it was.

we didn't access to integrate.

we just got an understand's pass,

to name and claim a certain status of comprehension

and we feel accomplished by and about that.

so with dark matter,

maybe are we still at the name-calling stage?

that works for us.

it shows that we have interest 

and a limited sense of its intimacies.

maybe that is a circuitous titling, 

that possibly reflects back on us, 

as its makers,

back on method of approach.

but that's what we do.

that's how we claim advancement.

that's how come to observe.

we are still deeply invested in the naming stage.

we haven't advanced into the integration there of.

we train other species to respond to us

but we don't actually communicate with them.

we're just curiously fascinated

as we are fanciful attentive.

we believe that by naming it, 

we are in an approach method of comprehension.

and that comprehension has its technical means

for us to live and die by, 

that, as our method used.

we fully believe that we are out here 

by ourselves, determining what is

and what is not. 

and that's how the universe works for us.

dark matter or whatever is just a curiosity

by the means used, in revelation's cause.

we start with a premise,

that everything we realize,

came from lives in the zoo of the unknown.

and we take life to be that excursion, 

at worth!

god forbids us, 

for initially asking,

what else are minds for? . . .
