Modesty

I think,

therefore I am.

Many have argued

persuasively against

these words by Descartes,

but so what if

they’re right in some way?

We do think and are.

But what do we think?

Where do we end?

If this, then that?

This, therefore that?

Simply, only, that?

Someone has said

the longest distance

is between head

and heart.

Much desire is

not of the heart

but rather attachment—

loyalty to mundane wish.

The modesty of

heart’s desire acknowledged

hoves to shore

our masterful minds.
