Interview On "Sunday Morning"

Day Ten


They said you would call meetings over lunch
Meetings that would last for hours
Even on into the night
They laughed over the ruse of it
Proud to be included in this
Most intelligent fraternity

They said you would have prepared
A document
To be shared and discussed
A challenge of wits
That perhaps only the present circle
Could deem intelligible

I think they enjoyed the inclusion
The debate, the sparring
Very few thinkers could instigate
In them a burning question
To replace the complacent assurance
That is their daily existence

The mind cannot heal cell and sinew
Your body is breaking down
Cancer has been developing
Unobservable through your intellect
Does this mean it was any less real
Before it manifested in proof?
