before the extinction, that blowing out
nay! that final merging into the ocean
of eternal life, with that unvarying
gazing of the un-setting sun
i refuse now to live with lies
and too simplistic issues
choosing rather to live
with unanswered questions
refusing vehemently to live in the cave
of my own prejudices, or a life imposed
on me, dreaming dreams not mine
living not codes of my ancient ancestors
