Things In Themselves

“If the universal (the rule, the principle, the law) is given, then the power of judgement, which subsumes the particular under it (even when, as a transcendental power of judgement, it provides the conditions a priori in accordance with which alone anything can be subsumed under that universal), is determining.” – Immanuel Kant (1724-1804).

We can never
know the things
In themselves.

This is because
We process
The data of our senses

Through models pre-existing
Deep inside our heads
And retching retching retching

We are all
That is left
Upon the floor.
