Adagio
Tranquillity
Dishonoured by a pace
Which utters treason
Against a rationale
Which knows itself well.
Socrates adjured us:
'Know thyself'
And for what?
If Plato cannot convince
Others need know it too.
I slumber long
In the great adagios.
The world is deaf.
I hear it clearly.
I hear it all the time.
