Shade
Let’s rest here
Under this shade
Of ignorance
It is so cool
And so empty
There is only you
And me
And our host
Come! Let’s quick
To the shade
Lest, exposed
We become wise
And waste ourselves
On things philosophic
Psychologic, pathologic
Here, under the shade
There is no literature
No law, no art
No science of deceit
No poetry, music or life:
Just ignorance and ourselves
Just ignorance and ourselves
Just ignorance
Ignorance.
