Live for The Epic –

never for the lone, ancient songs

that were sung

and summoned

to build it.

Slink close to institutions that be –

it will cloak your denial

in plausibility.

Love the single word –

forget its etymology

and live happily

inside an absence

of comments

and questions.

Then,

pathologize well –

disregard the witch,

brutally.

Later, the others will follow her.
