of the truth 
so incessantly evolving, 
it's nice to know 
simplicity 
always exists. 
Often, guys like me 
try to use lots 
of huge words 
to reproduce 
complex and 
beautiful pictures;
we conjure them 
deliberately, then 
present them to others 
and call them 
couth tokens of our 
unsmoothed emotions.
But here once again, 
the truth 
has eluded us: 
it's always been 
those one or two 
elementary sketches—
so facile 
and innocent, which we 
never gave to anyone—
there lay our world 
at its most serene 
and authentic; 
there shone the clarity 
which always was our 
greatest gift.
