same end

Can I achieve an eloquent efficiency

Of words and thoughts and what lies

Between them, unspoken, unconsidered,

Perhaps even ever not known

But in that absence, the resonance that makes

The said, the thought, more?

Don't answer, if you know

I don't want to,

But more likely, if you don't.

I don't need a conversation, that,

Wherever it goes will simply confirm

Euclid and the Zen master painting

With one move of the wrist,

One flick of linked neurons,

Something that...

We've all heard before, and ignored,

Or embraced,

To the same end.
