living in your head

Nothing if not sordid impediment

to genuine enlightenment

the source of all our discontent

the chasm between what is meant

and what is

Abstraction!

if all thought were truly embodied

were that symbols rose from earthly seed

(and epistemes stemmed not from lack of heed)

would that metaphysics not roam around so freed

met a physics instead settled down to breed

would we be better offspring?
