A Shred of Evidence

Want to stay true to something?
Sure you do. Who wants to play
False? Stay true to whatever

Is on your mind. Cook up all
The figures of speech for it,
The embraceable cliches

You can—pole star, foundation,
Authenticity, Urgrund,
Faith, science, God. Gather all

The shreds you can of shredded
Evidence. Maybe don’t ask
How all evidence within

The universe came to be,
Or always was, so shredded.
