Strive as It Might

The eyeball'll never see
the color of its iris.
The hand will never scratch its back.
The skull will never kiss its nape.
The clock will never measure
its keeping of true time.
Unless, that is, they get external help.
But what about
the living mind?
They say that there is such a thing
that it is like
to be what someone is.
They say that science can't explain
the simple fact
of feeling like a bat.
The mind predicts,
It operates upon the world in ways that science can expound.
And yet
the mind will never think itself.
Unless, that is, it gets external help. ●
