IN THE DARK
IN THE DARK
Only a fool draws
A line between the living
And the non-living
For where oh where shall we
Mask-encumbered fools that we be
In unwitting ignorance decide
To draw … in windblown sand …
Some fingerwagger of a line?
A vital question long overlooked
How ever to draw
A line between the living
And the non-living?
Only a fool draws
A line between the living
And the non-living
