Quia Absurdum
Guard yourself from the terrible empty light of space, the bottomless
Pool of the stars.
(Expose yourself to it: you might learn something.
)
Guard yourself from perceiving the inherent nastiness of man and woman.
(Expose yourself to it: you might learn something.
)
Faith, as they now confess, is preposterous, an act of will.
Choose the Christian sheep-cote
Or the Communist rat-fight: faith will cover your head from the man-devouring stars.
