In later years
you said and felt
that I philosophize.

And you were right.

Though what you meant was nothing
means anything
any more
and maybe never did.

That’s true too. But I,

not quite yet as advanced
in that no-sum no-quarter game
of life of which AE,
philosophizing,
said (untruly)
boshaft ist der Herrgott nicht,”

can’t seem to lose
or still
or foil
that impulse to sift out and mouth
a sense that always
posthumously
proves no more
than soil.
