2017 Note: The universe is purposeless but purposeful:
“How can an intrinsically purposeless process lead to the existence of purposes?”
“The universe doesn’t care about us, but we care about the universe.”
— Carroll, Sean, The Big Picture: On the Origins of Life, Meaning, and the Universe Itself (p. 293, 422).
from Sisyphus in the back yard
the gods sported and faded from the press,
the universe returning as its own address.
what Olympus was now passes to us —
we scale ourselves and return Sisyphus

Beyond all gloss
Leave the stage of everyday …
go behind the scenes,
beyond all gloss …
until there’s just the lower bound
What remains?
What only can be imagined …
perhaps modeled mathematically
What are the words (or poetry)
to frame such a construct,
it’s structure and topology?
How does the everyday emerge
from that matrix effectively?
