Origami Truth Folds Poem by Terence George Craddock

consider visions
of truth tested folded
in mind like origami folds

producing various
shapes animals
variations of truth

test universal
test scientific truth
through filters

of individual mind
through filters of mistakes
blunders experiences

exercises learning
collective truth
of universal mind

exercises learning collective truth
individual pursuits pathways adding
onto perceived environmental concepts

of universal mind

consider motif
paper a single sheet
of paper piles

of paper realms
of paper apply marks
symbols letters

musical notes
equations apply creative
genius philosophers

great play rights
William Shakespeare
great scientists Einstein

read works drawings
conceive truth of meanings
to minds capable of reading conceptions

meanings the paper expands
into dimensions galaxies
layers of truth a literature read

in preagreed upon meanings
paper becomes more than paper
vast volumes of potential perceptions

but for the moth
it is not music math
literature science

it is not paper
it is food
moth eaten food

but not food for thought
paper has but fibre reality
for the hungry moth

truth beyond
human conception
is also truth

beyond digestion
without electricity
electronic files

cannot be read
volumes of truth
like vast depths

of space
remain
unknown

truth beyond
human conception
may not even

have form
forms unknown
vast fill

countless spaces
throughout universe
cosmos expanding

human knowledge
but a couple of keys
on a piano stretching

in length kilometres
we play a few bars
a couple of short bars

in donkey verse
profess to have reached
the absolute pinnacle

of evolutionary heights
in hubristic declarations
of twenty first century

flat earth perceptions theories
