[WISDOM CHANGE]

In or that
concealment of
un-concealment—
mind-numbing slides
we abided
by
total
mudness.

. . .
Go thee then
as far as thee can 
go, shall find
a thing as
close as can be: 
(even Viennese schnitzel
in Kanyakumari . . . 
Only when you go 
you find
you cannot know 
if you 
are less-than
or more 
-than
one.

. . .
So what?! If the shit’s human
shit
it’s not enough
to say
it—you’ve gotta
prove it.
The clock-safe ticks
only after
inserting the coin
you can wind.
