Superb Surpise
Tell all the truth
but tell it slant
success in circuit lies.
Too bright for our infirm delight
the truth’s superb surprise
as lightning to the children eased
with explanation kind
the truth must dazzle gradually
or everyone go blind.
-Emily Dickinson
Sometime poetry is the only way to get it said. So thanks and praise be that we have it to use. On the most basic level we have between us as community–language–it is all about the code. A sometimes mythic (and always meta-!) combination between what we say and how we say it. Jazz to the Music. Poetry to the Word.
Play through the changes.
