History...?

History...?

history (and science)
have an obstacle..
the observer fades
as  happenings
go their separate ways..
the world as objects
stand as mystery
to be solved by
undaunted effort..

as separation rules
the number of paths
of investigation grow
large and larger..
and the observer
fades still more..

that is, until a
discovery of futility
revives awareness
of the observer
who is huddled
in a hidden place..
