to pry open
the fissure between
the fierce buttress
known as
how it works
and that redoubtable mainstay
why it is,
the trick
is to use only the unconscious
tips
of those devious fingers
your mind must employ
to cover the eyes
while it tickles
your soul;
anything less
than bewilderment
is useless—it is
far more enriching
to suspect
than to know.
