    Cogito, Ergo Sum


    To think of thoughts is vein
    To think of consciousness is insane
    The thought process is speechless monologue
    The tail can't wag the dog
    Discoveries are here
    Disappointments are greeted with no cheer
    Commanding what! Assists our social ill
    Questioning what we will
    Heard silences fill rooms
    Unseen visions are buried deep as tombs
    Nurture generic ecstasies of noise
    Vacate objective terms; that view is void
    Blind men see their darkness
    "Conscious men" see no gaps in their third sense
    We study troubled books of what we've done
    Hypothesis/theorem
    And yet, thus far, may do
    But still, the must-have-been, leaves no clue
    Lo, how difficult to appreciate
    But, how simple to say.

    I love the cluster of truthfulness in this peace, it's very sensible and it speaks to us on so many levels.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
