#886 - all that we believe is true

all that we believe is true

 

to speak is to fall into tautology

                       – Borges

 

it won’t matter what

won’t matter who

 

believed is all it takes to be

 

goes for science, for logic too

 

contraries in particular

perhaps they are the truest

 

all possible somewhere

because believed

 

ride unicorn, cloud cuckoo

white knuckles grip the edge of the seat

 

some things happen because they do

 

odds kick in

or fortune smiles

 

worlds enough for all of us

everything is magic

 

and somewhere off the map

 

the inside out upside down folk

live under stones in the tops of a tree

 

everything intended

happens for a reason or otherwise

most natural things are out of this world

 

anything at all is how we are

 

ruling nothing out or in

somewhere having once been

 

just think of a thing

it remains the case

or it was once in a while

might yet

 

they say ‘it might never happen’

don’t know what they’re talking about

 

of course the others are all wrong

that’s as true as ever

 

here we are again

won’t see past self

or what we’re part of

 

I mean to say that the holy is hidden

… behind that curtain, veil torn, gone

 

we all must wait to the unknown

where what will be already is

 

who will kick us down the stairs?

that will be everyone’s guess

 

remember the single cell loll?

that was us

 

everything else is also

everything you believe is true

 

but none of this can matter now

 

in the beautiful lie where we live
