Amelioratory Poems

Logic and Magic

LOGIC    AND   MAGIC

Those there are who believe shadow is mystery:
They prefer wondering about   life
And probing the secrets of joy and strife
With  palm-lines  deteriorating  or  amelioratory.

I deal only in logic, not magic signs.
Shadows are  the absence of light;
Lines, any lines, are the paths taken by light:
Thus shadows are opposed to lines.

These two reveal nothing curious.
They merely show the presence or absence
Of energy in  its essence.
All the rest  is knowledge spurious.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
