Unhooked

I’m amazed

at the stillness

of that which refuses to argue,

refuses to engage

with any of the hooks,

which, in fact, offers

a reality that counters

even all the stridently opposing views

It silences them utterly,

presenting, as it does,

a mode of being that precludes

any of the self-promoting sides.

The arguments of

everything that’s wrong

have nothing more to say

before the simple presence

of what’s right.
