Canto 10
From the window I saw an
eagle fly
Soaring in the heaven’s azure
blue sky
Said my friend with pipe in
his withered hand
The universe’s mysteries I do
understand
My gaze lowered to view his
wrinkled face
If I wasn’t high I would
leave this place
But the Earth pipe he passed
to me
And I inhaled then I did
disagree
To admit omnipotence is a
fatal sin
Humility is the place to
begin
For knowledge alone solves no
mystery at all
True understanding is
answering God’s call
Then the wind whipped and
sang a moan
And I understood, yes I alone
I looked upon the fool with
great pity
How futile is the chase to
infinity
Counting one by one is how
they go
Me I simply divide by zero
It’s nothing special and
nothing at all
True understanding is
answering God’s call
The wine in my glass was once
full to me
But long ago I have made the
vessel empty
My friend was stoned and
stoned I should be
For to some being high is
heresy
