Did you ever,
Nail the sun to the wall then
Keep your mind's eye open, because,
you can.
It won't go blind,
your mind's eye, focused on the sun
nailed to the sky wall
As you curve away at the pace of
A Roman hoplite clone running
A million miles an hour
2000 years away from here
Very thin light now
To the east while watching,
Focusing, on the sun in the west
While you stand your
Ground.
Suppose this,
That came to be a rite of
Passage into the thin light
Of night
Many generations after
First father showed his third son.
Never has any deed done in light
Been banished by the night.
Light expands thinner ever
Thinner nacring light limning
Evermore
Even thin light from the shadow
side of things
Thins more, harmoniously
Mingling through ancient
Pearl layers billions upon
Billions of stars-light.
First father knew that
he talked with God,
Who does nothing without
Showing someone
Like me or you.
"make not your thoughts your prisons"
"go not, gently" into that thinning light
"be gone"
Photons stretched 2000 light years wide
1 photon deep
Colliding with some tomorrows,
Some yesterdays, some almost right now,
So thin yesterday, today, and tomorrow
Are the same as the same and
As thick as galaxies.
Did you nail the sun to the wall?
From January 17, one year before therapuetic denial of Dunning Krueger was thought likely. You are as smart as you think you are, not as you think you were.
