A lack of curiosity
regarding the world outside your window
(or worse—the world within you)
is a great sin. It is unforgivable.
No virtue can redeem the loss of wonder.
Unexamined certainties not pondered
lead only to unbelievable rigor mortis:
the mind turns turtle/the heart an armored tortoise.
If you find yourself captive in a room
where all the uncaptivated agree
there is nothing left to learn-
get out as soon as you can!
To wage war against all doubt
is an act of murder-understand?
It’s as bad as killing a child
with your bare and blind-boned hands.
