In Our Little Worlds Poem by Laurence Overmire
In Our Little Worlds
Boxed in tight corners of unreality
We believe we know
Understand, perceive
Things greater than
Platitudes served on chafing
Dishes
Forces over which we command
Nothing
Ideas promulgated without censure of
Fact
Yet so certain is our
Conviction
We would defend it, immorally
To the death.
(Previously published in CER*BER*US, XLVII, Fall 2002)
All I can say is that it's the best poem I ever read. I hope I will be able to write like that one day.
