orphaned ideas are relentlessly nurtured in the twilight,
while children dream of places they'll never know.
and bearded men drink whisky at hours unfamiliar to most,
an old man on a train says a prayer - perhaps for us all.
a fleeting glimpse at genius in a back alley,
comprehending antiquity in dime store windows,
transcending existential realities with mechanical precision,
the smell of lost principles in a courtroom,
the unstretched yarn of moral fiber is less than a foot long
learning to sail on a sea of burdens,
yet drowning in inhibitions.
