On the Anthropic
Principle
Me.
Well, all right:
us.
But that’s it,
because
If you count in
the dogs
Or invite the
family of silent beings,
Trees for
instance or the ghosts of the Burgess Shale,
Well then, it
all goes out the window.
Then it’s all
just “here,”
Implacably so;
And unconscious,
and
Not a table
prepared
For us, for
Me.
