Innocence
We now learn that matter in the universe is aligned
in a grid,
that each molecule knows its mark
as if order came first,
that the stars know the moment of our birth
as if knowledge came first,
that each canvas knows what it wants to become
as if image came first,
that the tiger knows when to strike
as if power came first,
that prayer is answered
as if God came first.
And as all systems fail
all gods flee,
all stars fall
and as knowledge is overrun by innocence,
something else comes into being…
prepare.
