Wide Open ~ Sunday, December 27, 2020

The devil is in the details...
  hungry for attention, I saw
    enlightenment as a way out,

        drunk with precision never fails,
          entranced by my exactitude,
            visions of angles was the law
              in raising geometric doubt,
                left alone, a precocious mind

                  is seen as a threat by our crude
                    simpleton administrators,

                       inside my mind, it's full of stars,
                         no two connections opens doors,

                           trapped in a prison made of bars,
                             holding the keys, perforce to find
                               enlightenment itself a game,

                      .            demon-haunted world, I drown
                                      enlisting angels with singed wings
                                        to guide me through this maze I name
                                          argument in a foreign tongue,
                                            if I spoke the language of brown
                                              legislators, as David slings
                                                stones, I connect stars with doors flung...
