           Maybe these filtered walls
           meant fooling white wisdom
           of mind emptiness, only filling
           never deeper than their freedom;
           though what complaining's validity,
           why complain in all's agony;
           fools expected be at rising
           for in truth is melancholy;

           but valid now's the fool
           by expecting reality;
           be in constant pacing motion
           within fools' sobriety;
           but never will the wisdom
           merely sober, never foolish
           only wishing really endings
           but truth of endings--soonest;

           maybe living's meant changes,
           meant never change the fool
           for whatever fools be changing
           changes never--not their rules;
           in nonsensical stereotype,
           be whatever speaks the wisdom
           teaches never--not the snob
           'least the fool: "here's the kingdom!"

          may this playful reality
          quit triggering what's foolish,
          for needed so's the constant
          pacing life of some soul-less;
          the bright-beholders as well,
          the future makers of destiny
          shall live, though impaired of truth
          maybe of foolish reality.
