"We pass the word around; we ponder how the case is put by different people, we read the poetry; we meditate over the literature; we play the music; we change our minds; we reach an understanding. Society evolves this way, not by shouting each other down, but by the unique capacity of unique, individual human beings to comprehend each other." - Lewis Thomas

Transparent

The nightingale sings softly
As the sun rises beyond
Hallowed lovers shimmer
Transparent.

The constant roar of canons
As the kingdom falls on a knee
Below fallacy of a smiles
Transparent.

The language of divinity Spoken
As the sun sets on a bowing world
Below man, baptized in the fires of sin,
Transparent.

An elegant kiss
While wicker forms form
Below the belt,
Oblivious.
