“noting nothing”

by Viktor Tanaskovski

No thing would be sacred if
scared of being scarred,

Think not you should knot each thing
With threads of foolish wit.

Though the right path could be tough,
Wittiness will find its witness.

Then the bitter taste will taste better than
Dinner lacking dessert in a desert diner.

Now that you know how,
Can it while you can;

Keep away from the keen
Narrow views, sly to the marrow.

Very few of them will vary,
Some will ever stay the same;

And the way they used to be used to use is, in the end,
Quite an easy way to quit and keep quiet.

If they don’t back off of it,
Culture will become a vulture.

Older overt occult cults compulsively obsessed over order -
Feed not its need with a seed of their deed.

Could your synapses reveal the synopsis behind the cloud?
An aesthetic anesthetic cures this curse.
