Not when the meaning catches up with your mind.

I have ruined whole poems trying to write about it.
What tragedy!

I didn’t interview Sky
but I know it’s got nothing to tell me, the Cosmologist of Nonduality,
Sky is just a mirror, right, Sky?

and burps doubt: 1-1-0-1-0-0-0-1

*po:em - a pattern interruption poem, i.e. not a poem
