A Fable That Awakens Echoes

It’s tough to pull metaphors
For everything in heaven
From experiencing Earth.

Field theories and wave functions
Trail their math in chain-mail trains,
But math’s an armadillo,

Tough to kill, risky to shoot,
Capable of ricochets,
Filled with soft animal guts.

We won’t hint math’s ever wrong
(Ricochets are dangerous),
But it may fit the cosmos

So well because the cosmos
Is a metaphor of Earth
Floating in waves of heaven.
