Life is layers: Faith, first,
Keeps away the worst—
Flux, which destroys
All hope. The random chaos of the odd
Would drown us, if not for God.
The odd reigns in so many places—
The speaking human faces
Who look serenely into your eyes
To convince you of lies.
The second layer? Clothes,
We wear castles, to protect us from those
Who gaze with eyes which also destroy—
“This is not me, this is where I live, boy.”
Keep your eyes on my lavish life—
Which is my monument: pride, the third.
More odd than odd. Diabolically absurd.
The fourth: The quick birds sing.
The squirrels, in the park, feed and play.
That’s the layer I need. Since you went away.
