SERIOUS EVIDENCE
We hatched, lizardlike
from a cock’s egg
feeling our cold inert matter.
And the easiest way to explain the gaps
is to say
there are planets.
It makes
the bare minimum
sound like an impressive evolution,
not a metaphor, but as if it’s contributing
to one big medical experiment
and no one knows what the outcome will be.
Patients often hungry for explanations
are used to thinking that neo
cortical contraptions will help them.
Recall the child from chapter seven.
How can investigation proceed?
The inside belt is cleared.
I’m on a horrible planet.
