CHICKEN OR EGG?

      Let theorists far more astute than I
      Determine how the Universe performs,
      Explaining every What and How and Why,
      From micro-matters to galactic storms.

      Does mind come first and matter later,
      Or does from particles a mind evolve?
      A miracle each way and neither greater,
      Yet both a mystery I cannot solve.

      It’s all that I can do to form a verse,
      No universe, but yet a microcosm,
      Which calls for all the powers my wits disburse
      Suckling at Mother Universe’s bosom.

           Yet of both options that I’ve seen displayed,
           I’d say the Maker comes before the made.
