looses the dragging sciolism, helps us forget all the accumulated
flotsam of our lives that would otherwise weigh us down kicking
and screaming into the black depths because sometimes its

aside these things so as to allow new joys and hope to reign
in royal purple again for awhile regardless of the black and
white rationality of it, no matter that the hopes are vague
llovisna, unformed in chaos or even preposterous in bright
glare, quarks striking the plate from beyond the speed of
light to change empirical reality, if they allow us some release
from pain or hopelessness, because who knows when some
reality may form that contains life-affirming content,
pulling us up from the burdensome old baggage in restless
howling balloons of faith
