Hear me

the poem as
an MP3 file.
Watch me

Music: Subdivision
of the Masses.

Eager for a miracle,
one sees
Plainly and precisely as one wills,
Immersed in purposes, plans, goals, needs,
desires,
Peering through the window of a dream.
How might one see right through the way things
seem,
Adjusting for the light of inner fires?
Numbers measure what the measure kills.
Yet some truths are best planted on one's
knees.
