Deep Dive
It’s possible to read too much
To dive too deep
Into impenetrable texts
To attempt to wrap your mind
Too widely around
A set of fundamental truths
A certain breadth
Of knowledge ruins things
You start to realize that
The intricate architecture of snowflakes
Can always be melted down
Into shapeless blobs of rain
That a full moon
Is just a glimmer
Of all the light
We nightly turn from
That the sky
Is not really blue
Just an illusion
Of photonic scattering
It’s easy to
Overthink it all.
One morning
I wake up
Convinced I’m no
Longer in love with you.
So I go back to basics—
A mute proto-human savage
Alone on the savannah
Gazing at the stars,
Imagining omniscient gods
Who aren't interested
In your dogma or faith,
Only an honest wonder
