And witness, down this corridor, limits of the
ascertainable, where the cogito
concedes its wisdom to the simple marmoset,
surrendering to a casual principium,
eschewing all manner of scholarly
rigor and proper source documentation – a
matchless primate of mere being (my italics).
And overhead flutters the gaudy bird
itself, interlocuter of squawk and retreat,
gathering underwing the birdy semblables;
feathery Hitchcock of the noumenal,
assembling the unconditioned homeless for a
cinematic coup, as we acquiesce to faith's
shabby, discarded denominator,
crossing ourselves inanely before the gunrest.
