Soft is the reality and soft is the time:
edible.
Wonder of wonders that anything of this
not even ourselves
shall make more sense
than our own impossibility,
nor bigger possibility
than being a mere hypothesis,
nor what we write,
like this,
or anything else attributed to me
may ever have the slightest probability
of being comprehended or aberrant
but just perhaps the greatest eloquence
or grandiloquence
