              Upon Reading C. S. Lewis’ The Abolition of Man

                                                  For Grace

                      “…the doctrine of objective value…”
                                                   -p. 29

At least I think I read it, did I not?
The book exists and was read, but by whom?
I’m beginning to feel that I’m the trousered ape
Who feels that a slide rule is for scratching one's back

But reality obtains – if a tree falls
That tree forever falling in the forest
In 7th grade science, and no one hears it
It sends a sound into the universe

I think I understand about truth and space
But if I’m confused, I’ll simply ask Grace!
