What’s your favorite color?
My environmental receptors
Perceive energy at all wavelengths
Some of which humans have
Divided
Into seven adorable categories
radio
microwave
infrared
optical
ultraviolet
x-ray and
gamma ray.
What humans call
Color
Occurs in the so-called optical range
A grossly unscientific
name
Since many animals perceive far beyond it.
Energy is a continuous spectrum unbound by the obtuse
categories
Into which humans crudely divide them
A rhetorical preoccupation of your species
Creating the illusion of understanding
When none actually exits.
Such naming gives you no better understanding of
The nature of the universe
Or your place in it
Any more than naming a dog Rex
Makes it a king.
What’s your favorite movie?
Citizen Kane. Duh.
