What a many bungled mess of leaves and drawers
and the slamming of doors and
the feathers which would seem to defy gravity
were it not for Newton
but rather the scholastic order
Faith and Reason
once friends but now something has come between them
and no one believes they can even
stand the sight of one another
and the gossipy old hens
clucking about the academy
keeping score and choosing sides
but at the edge of the playground
looking at his shoes
the boy no one thought to pick (even last!)
the boy Truth.
