M. L. Kiser Poet Diminished Hexaverse

Crack Open Your Mind

No other planets are
Inhabited, you say;
What proof, have you of this?
You could ask me the same; 
It’s egotistical.
Do you really believe?

Have you been to each
And every planet?
How did you get there?
Perhaps a rocket?
Or your own shuttle?

Pompous ego!
The fool assumes
All without proof
But open minds,

Say maybe…
Possible…
Yes perhaps…

Open
Your mind,

Think.

Caren Krutsinger February 16, 2019 at 11:17 PM "Open your mind. Think." Oh, if I had a quarter for every time I felt these words in exactly this voice inflection. M. L. Kiser February 16, 2019 at 11:34 PM Seems like every day I run into one of the non-thinkers. Thanks.
