True or false:
the more easily a point of view
can be described in terms
of answers to true or false questions,
the more evil is inherently available
to the holder.
True or false:
This is a poem.
A poem is musical truth.
Truth is detectable in any situation.
Truth is a fire that cannot be quenched.
Regrets that emerge at sunrise
can be planted and cultivated
until they become lemons.
Lemons will become lemonade. A sow’s ear
will become a silk purse.
Reform
will follow devastation.
True or false:
Holiness comes from white pine needles,
dried red muscles
from a badger, a rattle
around a fire, whistles
in a disco…
true or false:
God is in the details.
Details are overwhelming.
Big Gods need big pictures.
To draw the big pictures one needs
a broad, broad brush.
