passing
hospital emergency
entrance,
beating
hearts,
clattering
wheels beneath,
automobiles
flowing
in
opposite direction.
Moon in
puddles on construction sites, orange lights, white lights, globular
lights mounted on antique posts, between
objects which are real and objects which exist. In this usage,
God is real for Christians whether or not he exists. The methodological
agnosticism here being used is, then, we
should examine the full context within which the creature is seen,
rather than continue to dwell almost exclusively in what is seen,
on the object as agnosticism about the existence or otherwise of the
main foci of the belief system in question. It is worth noting
a complication. I am not denying that the existent things can
be treated as unreal, just as hi-intensity parking lot
lights radiant
as rectangular suns, yellow, red...green lights, glowing headlights,
interior of a lonely lobby, a closed shop's protective lights.
This lighted wilderness
more dangerous
than where darkness
stands guard.
