A Form of Life

By Richard Mather

The mind forges the world as a reflection

of itself, numerates reality according

to its categories.*

And the world as it is –

which is anterior to our logic –

is eclipsed by a form of life

that conforms to us.

*See Kant’s categories (e.g. substance and accident, causation, unity, etc) and a priori intuitions (space and time).
