I came here
As I write these lines
Not as a poet, preacher, prophet
But at random, an explorer
Of language, this first
Invention, I find it very fine
Finer than many of our
New things, I embrace
The lineage of poet-saints
And eat the mystic rhetoric
For breakfast, all to have a
Feast of the mind, a daybreak
Of the soul, that is not
Contrived by economic murmur
The first light, the dispersion
Of the birds makes me feel free
Like the music behind verse
I came here
As I write these lines
As a simple fool & observer
Careful to maintain my silence
In this world of propaganda
Careful to maintain my purity
In these times of great corruption.
