Of Otherwise, Selah

OF OTHERWISE, SELAH

~ by Wayne David Knoll

The cynical intellectual lauds his nothing as
the agnostic wears his black T-shirt with the
blazon 'Religion: together we can find a cure'

in the same world where the age's traffic flees off
on no pilgrimage but haste, a progress anxiety to be
not here, else, where, in a tree near the front porch

an Australian magpie here warbles it's lyrical refrain:
the mellifluous sweetness of otherwise, Selah.
