DOUBTING THOMAS

They insist—
any line,
and each sovereign part,

and every act 
of speech 
is virgin;

there's 
no such thing 
as repetition—

And that this 
isn't tyranny, 

but rather, 
salvation—

an unerring religion 
for the already-chosen

who succeed 
by teaching the truth 
they've been taught.

But it's nothing for me 
to prove 
a truth wrong:

first, I say 
maybe—and then,
maybe not.
