I can’t seem to
keep a favorite.
Peter O’Toole,
as Lawrence, was
once upon a time. True.
But later on I thot, too
much makeup, too
much exaggeration.
Food is the same way too.
I have favorites
until I order two.
Is there nothing
I can count on to
be the same
from beginning to
end?
Newton thot so –
but Einstein said no.
Einstein thot so
but Bohr said no.
In philosophy,
Kant said so,
but Locke said no.
In religion,
you say so,
but I say no.
If we decide to
save our souls,
we should hope
the answer is no.
This allows us to
search for answers
that do
not exist
but will if
we dare to
say, they do
too.
