the night watchmen fell asleep
when Albert Einstein dreamed then
mathematically proved the existence
of a greater spiritual power
and after Milton Freidman
replaced myth with timeless truth leaving
the rest of we mere humans
shimmering above the mirage
wondering what happened
to all our kinetic collective groping
the truth is A is A and
two plus two does equal four
the truth is it is a beautiful morning
and I am going for a walk in the woods
