c2.  Poet

I lay awake at night
Somehow sleeping, while gently weeping
In my heart, o'er a memory of future tales,
Mostly far, far away -- that I forgot.
And pen a few ideological psalms
Of times that were and then were not.
A novice at this art, perhaps,
Maybe, then maybe not.
I, an gentle scribe of senseless songs;
The science of reality is my philosophy,
The philosophy of analysis is my reasoning,
The inconsistency of reasoning is my paradox,
The immaculacy of paradox is my fallability.
These coupled are my chief cause for timesome prophesy
Of horrid, happy, rancid, or glad destiny, perhaps,
Maybe, then maybe not.
