Afterthought on The Fool's Paradise

"The thinking Adam was not suicidal,

Yet he freely fed on the poisonous apple.

Like us Sinners.

The Poison molecule is not venomous,

Yet "that which kills" equals "Poison".

Like a Hangman.

(The phenomenon of Man is such

That death is his completion.)

Till then we play the merry-go-round

And keep our faculties busy.

How unfortunate (it seems) and wondrous

That there's no way out of it.

If only one could transcend meaning ?

Thus, one would attain

That which the dear Fool is blessed with.

That which language ought not express

And logic may not explain."
