multiverse

if Smolin's right, the multiverse evolves
new universes springing from Black Holes
for ev'ry problem such a theory solves
we find ourselves no closer to our goals
horizons hide far more than we can see
'though 13 billion light-years might seem far
anthropic limits on what just can't be
need not apply beyond that furthest star
the more we learn, more mysteries abound
our hard-won constants might be local flukes
beyond the galaxies that we have found
a thousand life-forms might be eating nukes
improbably, both you and I exist
to mull cosmology as so much grist
