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
