Kit Kelen #1426 - Plato

1426
Plato

in a forest of this rain, breeze dreaming

the cave is God’s mind
clamour till dark is  

here’s smoke
all a month with now
knows us by name

see a way clear
slept past

here’s a philosopher king
bright plumage
rug for pride

guess an end of this dilation

find winged
all sorts lost to be

just with a little prompt
there are things
you might remember having known

Plato has a gun
is holed up in the Academy

the whole scheme’s doomed
we know about the Big Bang now
learned in the Planetarium
(isn’t that where we are?)

as the mosquito can tell our kind
with one bite

sleep
a picture of a bed
and here’s the candlelight
he’s smoking again
told him and told him
but flit

later there’ll be neo-magic
that will take some nous

gather the facts
and file away
you may be of use later
