Excess Light Is Not the Problem

“Unreason is in the same relation to reason as dazzlement to the brightness of daylight itself.”—Michael Foucault
Truth’s troubled;
so it’s best
avoided
if you can.
Now I am not
saying anything
like to lie,
but locks are dangerous:
logic clicks
mechanically into place
without thought
for surrounding space.
To lie with truth begets
a problematic progeny.
