Natural:
"If nature permits a formulation
It is natural.
If nature's laws of behavior
Do not permit the formulation
The latter does not occur.
Whatever can be done
Is natural,
No matter how grotesque, boring,
Unfamiliar, or unprecedented.
In the same way
Nature never 'fails.'
Nature complies with her own laws.
Nature is the law.
When man lacks understanding
Of nature's laws
And a man-contrived structure
Buckles unexpectedly,
It does not fail.
It only demonstrates that man
Did not understand
Nature's laws and behaviors.
Nothing failed.
Man's knowledge or estimating
Was inadequate.
