Timaeus, A Few Closing Remarks Off Record

Timaeus, A Few Closing Remarks Off Record / Joshua Alan Sturgill

Barbarian.
Your horoscope obscures the stars
and your telescope renders them completely invisible.

Even Spartans (those drunken perverts) understand:

simpletons who think they can know heaven
through mere calculation
lose the hard-won form of Man
and are reborn as ducks.

Your eyes are the amphora.
Or have you never considered why the Sun
is the same shape as your soul?

Idiot.
Only thieves and voyeurs avoid the front door.

Say a prayer and acknowledge your mortality
like a true philosopher
before you peer into the houses of the gods
