obvious truths are tremendously fragile
think of the yester-years we’ve exited
the trivialities and quaint recalls they presumed deeply true
today we face dramatically disturbing adjustments
we think these upheavals for surely they are that but
now that they’ve begun the ground quakes for all of us
isn’t it maybe time to put down the sword
question the reason for raising it in the first place
go ahead though leave the armor on
so that we can recall some sensibility
protected just this much amidst this raw exposure
