You were innocent, you shared
The prejudices that connected us
Like prayer, and the world held firm
Behind its insipid certainties.
Now you have nothing to cling to,
You stopped making sense to people
And the ones who lifted you up
left you there without explanation.
How is a man to live like that
Except muttering and on his knees
Hanging one’s head in the shivering corn
And living with an unreasonable truth.
