SERIOUSLY
This is poem
it is allowed
I give you
explicit permission
to believe whatever you like
can choose to believe
everything
something, nothing,
something and nothing
no big eternal truth
nor any huge perfidious
lie
being told here
no cover ups, whistleblows,
reinterpretations of history
one way
or another creation of mythology,
dabbling in fantasy
letting ideology speak
as if it has every right
to be heard
and
taken seriously.
