What Worlds We Don't Know Poem by Glen Kappy
What Worlds We Don't Know
from "While Passing Through"/Summer
Dog sniffs intently
round a spot of dirt—
what worlds we don't know!
There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy, Horatio. As a stranger give them welcome.
hey, daniel! good to see your comment, and this is a great quote for this poem. school has started, and as i've had to get out early, when i'd usually spend time with poetry, i haven't spent much time in ph. i have a note to myself to see what you've posted recently. hoping all is well with you, brother. -glen
Hmm, sometimes ignorance is bliss! But to a dog I guess the olfactory world is full of interesting things. Another universe...
exactly! there's so much that swirls around us we're unaware of—this besides the infinities of the super-tiny and galactic perspectives. string theory hypothesizes there are at least ten (i think it is) dimensions while we walk around aware of three. anyway, thanks as always for reading and commenting, laurie. -glen

Profound, we have inherent limitations, these limitations are far beyond our imagination. Nicely thought poem.10*******
Thank you, Asim. Yes, we are quite limited, finite, so arrogance about what we know does not befit us. Something that I look for in scientists and experts in any field is humility about all there is to know in comparison to what we do know. -Glen
