Anyway, she was telling me about the absence.
There is roughly 5 times more dark matter than ordinary matter.
The small part of what is visible,
of the ones that count,
of the ones who can live as they want.
Besides the much bigger part
of the ones who sleep dreamless nights,
the ones who stay unknown.
I only know these 5%,
those who have time to wonder if there is something else,
those who have the means to pursue their visions.
But for the majority of mankind,
there is enough trouble in front of them, visible and evident,
enough structures to be unpacked and problems to be solved.
I wondered if the mountain interacted with dark matter,
before we drilled the hole.
