“The right understanding of any matter
and a misunderstanding of the same matter
do not wholly exclude each other.”
― Franz Kafka, The Trial
something happened
we cannot know details
rest assured…
it happened
not a good thing
a hushed thing
sitting now with
other somethings
denied specifics
silent
but rest assured:
something will be done
about something and
words will fill
the silence
something will be done
by somebody soon
contacting someone else
who disapproves of
somethings
as happening
because someone else
is constrained
to act until
somebody other claims
particular things
in relation to
general rumors
some-thing
needs things
requires other
IT-happened’s
vagueness needs
precision
uncertainty delimits
certainty
general events
attach to particulars
gaining depth
perception
something takes a form
defined by all
of “these things”
by the surety
of association
now convinced
conviction
makes
truth
