The Square Circle

an almost nothing

an insubstantial something

from this they presume

that all there is proceeded

how can this be?!

if the something that is

came from the nothing that was

something more than nothing

was before all this something

it is astounding to my startled eyes

the contortions that some will endure

to avoid a plainly revealed

God

I was reading in July’s “Astronomy” magazine the

article “Why is there Something Instead of Nothing”

and laughed, after which I wrote this.
