You are alive. Do something.The directive in life,
the moral imperative was so uncomplicated.
It could be expressed in single words,
not complete sentences.It sounded like this:
Look. Listen. Choose. Act.
The folly of mistaking a paradox for a discovery,
a metaphor for a proof,
a torrent of verbiage for a spring of capital truths,
and oneself for an oracle, is inborn in us.
