The only time we escape
the jungle
—is in self delusion
(State College Pennsylvania: November, 1970)
Questioning The Answers
What, who, or where
the sages portend
What, who, or where
the shamans belie
What, who, or where
the scholars defend
What, who, or where
—not questioning why
(Dreamsleep: November, 2022)

(we make-up, our make belief
fantasies
then lament, how they dissociate
us, from reality
only answering
the how and why, of it all
reactively, in retrospective futility...)
another thought provoking read, dear Poet
thank you!
Thanks LB, I wrote the untitled one over 50 years ago during my salad days.
