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.
