On Reasoning

by Lola Haskins

 

Then, I shunned

philosophies because I

could see why

each could not

be true.

 

I thought not-knowing

was ugly. I wanted

a system like a marriage,

that would stand by me

because it promised.

 

But now, grown,

I want something else.

Give me a mist whose

approaching figures

could be anything.
