Sensory imprecision
Means uncertain perception,
Inability
To detect every difference.
It’s probably just
Natural selection working
In its “good enough” fashion,
But it unleashed the strange power
Of treating phenomena
As units, repetitions.
We sense things are the same when
They’re never the same,
And what’s countable depends
On what’s unaccounted for.
