of one's creative imagination are
the burdens we must carry forth;
the telltale signs of disbelief that
form our lackluster faiths, some
of which are collective while
others a philosophical desire;
we assume nothing while
believing everything we see
like a child learning to walk
and a parrot learning to talk,
a dog howling at a siren or
demons in the night whose
sole purpose is to disrupt sleep;
we are instinctive yet cautious
bending the rules that we can
while enforcing those we cannot
and criticizing the system that
allows us to behave foolishly.
