Compremised

In parts of France, monster toads
Of satanic ugliness
Were thought to appear to those

Who were sufficiently bold
To step in mushroom circles
Known as fairy rings. Make small

Of this belief at your own
Peril, genius—not from toads
But from whatever now seems

Reasonable to believe,
Starting from your premises.
It’s always the premises

That shape the realm of error.
Step blithely into a ring
A priori and watch out.
