That people even many together could never decide truth
Czeslaw honored it absolute
he disparaged religious insight
little girls first communion dressed in white
we’re likened to birds crashing into a picture window
learning to live in a phantasmagorical world

my poem goes in a similar direction
young, I mistook mystical experience for authenticity
then the revelation of actuality
truth is riding-bicycles' recreation.
