Analysis of Je Ne Je Ne Sais Quoi
Science is a tool to skew the world,
in form its weakness shows
To measure, rate, and catalog,
what in essence stays unknown
I’m not against its formulas,
but the philosophy it breeds
Its laws to serve and fertilize
—a deeper planted seed
(Tolentine Hall: February, 2021)
