Higgs Boson Commemorative - Reductio (Kline)

It is an aspect of the world: imagine
that the unwatched mirror is empty;
that things inside the room, the room
itself, vanish, when the door is closed;
that there are no words inside the books
till we open them, nor behind the screen;
that the sun dies each night and is reborn;
that the universe, its billion-fold light show
is a darkness that the mind populates;
that non-existent gods spring into being
whenever the faithful say their prayers.
