The truthful simplicity of the untruth.
Is what Beatrice Potter said, of Ted Geisel's rhymes.
Is it true the untrue is so believable? Who know.
I, for one, must say I simply cannot say I know.
I, for another, might say I believe unknowing
is for one thing no worse than for two.
Any two agreed, as greedily as any two ever in was,
create a mind combined of two as different as me
from you… agree
and we form us, from a we wisht were true,
a we some see as awesome, just me and you.
I live with five children I need not correct nor control, and we play
on the day after Christmas in timeless, persistent simplicity.
Living until childhood's innocense it sweeter than knowing better,
is as good a reason to suffer growing old as any ever sold.
