Birds Need Deeper Keels to Anchor Wings

What you know about,
You can probably
Come to understand,
And what you don’t know,
You can’t understand,

But what you pretend
To know about but
Never understand—
Claim, on principle,
Can’t be understood—

What you like to call
The great mystery,
The eternal God,
Or profoundest good,
Probably never

Existed at all
Except among us
Who curate your dreams
And beliefs for you,
As we have to do.

Do you know why you
Dream more than any
Other ape? Language
Unbalances you.
Dreams can anchor you.
