is the hardest thing
to hold out for.
A mind
may be just
so inclined
by the new light
of facts or data
charts—but alas,
there are no counterparts
in forgiveness and
reconciliation.
no great
conflagration of patience
and time;
no new information
or updated priors,
will ever counteract
the resolve
of an organ
that would sooner
get attacked
than made
into a liar.
