Analysis of No More - No Less
Is there a fact of the matter
that can never be disproved
Is there an absolute truth
that all can behoove
As sure as we once were
that the world was flat
We’ve transferred to the Big Bang,
and the beginning of all that
Are facts just a servant
to our spiritual minds
To provide order and sequence,
make things easier to find
If one fact truly exists
above all the rest
It’s that facts don’t exist
—no more and no less
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)
