91. Mystery (Myshkin, 2020) · limerick
What if God’s name was Mystery?
What would the abbots say?
Would it be cool
To teach in school
Not knowing as
The
Way?
When we defend some privileged truth,
We’re grumpy and uptight.
While paradox
Alarms and shocks
But fills us with delight.
I knew so much when I was young,
So much of it untrue.
Now questions come,
I play it dumb,
Live laughter through and through.
