from void to void

such assumption to act
         you blind sower of fate

as if you read religious
         the manuscript of Man

I bury my head in that book
         and it bids me pause

how have we come 
         to counter conclusions?

you dare to feign fiction,
         to chart course our ship?

but Good only knows
         itself by Evil

so long as you enjoy
         yourself a Captain

I will tinker your compass
         at night—

for you barely have need of it,
         you sage.
