Behold—
the bold future
of
standpoint epistemology:
knowing
what you know,
and
undismayed
to know it.
*
At present, the child
is an untenable species;
the deep hole
that guards what you think
from who you are
is black
and large
and hungry enough
to gobble the sun of discovery.
But for those
who hold fast,
who stand curious,
who remain waiting;
the worst
will always be a shortcut
to epiphany.
