He who burns books only denies himself a new point of view, making himself that much more nearsighted of the truth.


I am the painter who is going blind
Watching all of the colors change
Purple to black
Yellow to red
The world has turned on its head
A train barreling down a mountain
I begin to see people turn into rabbits only to watch them multiply
Again the colors shift
Blue to grey
White to green
The colors continue on their torturous parade
And the train catches more speed
