No Proof Of Life

Nothing is proven…things just work out

for a while, maybe even reliable, but

circumstances change, things wear out,

a new model comes along, a brand new

technology, better theory that explains.

Maybe we have evidence we can use

in a court of law, in the court of public

opinion, that we exist: we have snap

shots, diplomas, verified anecdotes 

that say we were where whenever

and did what, but considering eternity

even titanium explanations wither.

That’s exactly why a cup of tea is

as monumental as anything can be.
