12. (frank)
What do you run on?
They ask.
There must be something
here,
somewhere.
A gear?
A lever?
A button?
—
Oh,
they just don't get it.
You are not a machine,
even though sometimes
you wish
that you were.
You are a being
that doesn't make sense
a contradiction
of what they know.
—
Of course,
though,
no
'men of science'
love contradictions
and anomalies.
—
It doesn't make sense,
they cry.
Keep looking,
they tell each other.
There must be something
somewhere.
This is
not possible.
—
They don't understand
that some things
are not meant
to be known,
not mean to be
understood.
They don't understand
that you are
one of those things.
—
They will never understand
the power
of belief.
