Putting everything that we don’t need to
prove, because it can’t be proven, because it can’t
be proven wrong, on the list of things
we’re free from,

which is almost as long
as the infinite goodness to which we are
bound. I am putting on the list that
everything about us has been found and named

worthy. I am not putting on the list
the things that I’ve forgotten, that would
distract me from the you, the me, the
we, the one who

holds the eraser,
the pencil,
the world—
everyone.
