Picture: The libraries do not fool us.


Truth cannot be poured into words;
The function of words is to disable truth.

Think of any dogma
Or creed
Or catechism
Or systematic theology.

Dogmas
And creeds
And catechisms
And systematic theologies
Don't even tell us about yesterday's
Illusions of truth,
Let alone today's.

The point is
That truth cannot be accumulated,
And repetition is not truth.

That's what words try to do:
Words try to accumulate stuff called truth
And repeat stuff called truth
And assert stuff called truth
Until it bores everyone to death.

But real truth doesn't bore everyone to death;
Real truth excites everyone to life.

And anyway, language mutates
And words fail to contain
Because truth is too slippery
And changing
For words to hold.

But truth can never be mislaid
Because it is only found
In the present moment,
In a fleeting microdot
Of personally experienced
Smiles
Or tears.

A second's tears
Contain more truth
Than a century's libraries.

Thus we are confident to claim that
The libraries do not fool us
And that they cannot be used
Against us
By the ancient
Book-appointed
Authorities
Of dust and deception.
