I saw it on the shelf.
in between the other books.
it had an unimaginative cover.
it said
it was a guide book
- for humans.
*****
why
would humans
need a guide
on how to live our lives?
thought I.

*****
yet,
I pulled it off the shelf,
and opened it,
doubtful.
and I read:
'this is the book about which there is
no doubt,'
no?
doubt?
*****
this is how the book ended up
in my bag
by my bedside
in my hands
constantly.
*****
of course I did not believe
those words
I scorn
scoffing to myself
at the absurd idea.
*****
this was the age of
science
enlightenment
proof.
not fairytales and miracles.
