The World I Live In

I have refused to live

locked in the orderly house of

reasons and proofs;

The world I live in and believe in

is wider than that. And anyway.

what’s wrong with Maybe?

You wouldn’t believe what once or

twice I have seen. I’ll just

tell you this:

only if there are angels in your head will you

ever, possibly, see one.
