Truth Is Just the Opposite of Sense

Truth is just the opposite of sense: What we know will lift, eventually, like fog. Each paradox is like a shining face Nodding vacantly across a room. The only source of thought is innocence, Yet we must wear the colors of the wog. The signature of arrogance is grace: How can we know, except that we presume? Reason robs the soul of nutrients: Each heart constructs its own bright carapace; Each mystery divides within its womb. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon. Free for personal or non-commercial use.
