The Hole in Space

A Short Poem with a Hat

The hole in space was in the corner of my closet

I had it hidden under an old hat I owned

It was best to keep it covered

If you looked at it too closely your mind would rebel and a wave of nausea would follow

It is impossible to describe in any meaningful way

It is easier to say what it is not

It is not a hole, or a rip, or a rend, or any other tear in the fabric of reality.

It is not a wormhole, or dimensional gateway, or quantum fluctuation, or any other such science fiction device

It is simply a hole in space

It needs to be filled

It needs to be fixed

It needs to be closed

For now the hat will have to do
