Straws Poem by John Prophet

Straws.
Grasping
at
straws.
Time
immemorial,
humanity
has been
grasping
at
straws.
How to
explain,
understand?
Understand
the place
they find
themselves.
Concepts
from a
mote.
Science.
Religion.
Philosophy.
Attempts.
Efforts
to
understand.
Mote concepts.
Mote
understanding.
Working with
what's
provide.
Limited.
Not up
to the
task.
Ultimate
understanding
beyond scope.
Beyond.
Stories,
attempts,
scaffolding
built.
Grasping
at straws.
Helps.
Helps to
get through.
Helps to
hold on.
