there is a way to
enter your tongue into a sentence.
not a way of care or concern,
but a way of clarity;
controversy is inevitable,
a steady tongue is intellectual.
one must possess both
intellect and clarity
(books have no intellect,
originality is intelligence)
to mean anything
and understand nothing.
in the end
a sentence has been punctuated,
a thought has been made known
and a conclusion is no more finite
than the words and the flies
sitting at a wall of humanity
arguing which is the best way
to pass through;
which is the best way
to brush people aside.
