There sat Minerva
Radiating elegance amongst
An unruly gathering enmeshed in chaos
That seemed to reign on the Outside.
She smiled, bowed her head,
Slightly folded her arms
And dived into her own space
In an instant ; she dragged the fabric
Permeating Everywhere, on which
Everything existed, through a Wormhole
Like a swirling vortex of Water
Disappearing through an orifice.
There is Nothing left here
Now, a voice was heard to say.
The thought : an anomaly ;
There was Nowhere, there,
To be. Then, where was
That voice coming from ;
Where was the Mind, cogitating this All
