Yes William, ”We murder to dissect.”
With each particular defined,
every object in careful retrospect,
we divide and sub-divide,
by the workings of our minds.
Every time, every minute, every second,
with our instruments we measure,
but the instrument that is not,
is the instrument most clever.
It creates the borders here,
as it sub-divides the rhyme,
shapes and colors, sights and sounds
are the limits of our mind.
Just as those who read this poem,
and who contemplate my words,
will analyze the syntax
and manipulate the verbs.
Note Bene As my last poem in this category went over so well,
I thought I would include another ancient write, which I will not specify, as the title should clue you to its age.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
