science removes certain truths

 

by Linda King

 

 

 

 

in black and white    blood red the only colour    impact of the logical

 

pull the words    towards your mouth    watch them begin to blur

 

the internal structure of the text    with the adjectives erased

 

description is difficult    yet everyone wants something

 

an elegant solution    not an answer    the answer
