Poetical Polemic
A human being
by temperament savouring the long lyrical line
strays never far from a curved river
that creates the habitat, marvellous and mysterious,
the inquisitive spirit desires;
if you cannot be lost, you cannot be found.
The idiot himself can see
a short plank won't cover much ground
a sensible person sees also
it can't possibly carry much weight
and deep within humanity
is embedded a profound weight.
The long melodic line is crucial
in encountering a world of sinuous development,
of exploration and discovery;
the questioning and expounding,
sharing and celebrating
follow its serpentine path.
