Niksen decamps to another enclosure
as soon as adulthood enters.
Ideas concur or collide
in the safety of my think tank.
The technique is perfect
what it sometimes lacks is fullness
of the fruitage.
Animals and the universe
possess their oracy:
We must equip ourselves
to attend to them.
Charientism is an invention
in the warehouse of the wayward.
Faith offers a passel of possibilities.
