Why Explain the Precise by Way of the Less Precise?

Poems

– Timothy Eastman, Physics and Whitehead: Process, Quantum and Experience

 

It doesn’t seem

right to think

blunt blows

could do a thing

like that but

we do know

arrowheads

are knapped

with rocks so

maybe it is

possible that

some kind of edge

could result from

generalized

impacts or large

blasts, a mind

grow somehow

more exact.
