To be truly curious
It will take all of your heart
To listen to people and to question things
There is nothing revolutionary
Whatsoever about it
It’s the natural state of being human
You must write, read and live
As if you knew nothing
That you might explore
Every point of view
Every frame of reference
As valid, every formulas as good
Until there are no more words
And no more self in what
You have found, then tell yourself
The meaning of life
Lying is done with words
And also in silence
The world lies to itself everyday
To perpetuate ignorance
So that some might profit over the many
Poetry is a concentration on
The ultimate relationship
Of everything in the universe
With itself, the self that is only a half-truth
It’s the connections that are beautiful.
