5264. NOT NECESSARY TO DEMONSTRATE FACTS

NOT NECESSARY TO 

DEMONSTRATE FACTS

I can write the starry sky or the depths of the sodden sea.

I do not, in either place, need to ever really be. It is not

 necessary to demonstrate facts with being : it is enough

 for the author to have written something for it to be true. 

Right here, not far from the fire in the palm of my hand,

 I am looking at marbles and glass; things singing, the

 whirlings of light. Globes and reflections  -  encircling light  -  

are shining off of Windows and mirrors and the hard

 glass on doors. All of this, as one, gives me life, makes me 

dance and  sing, gives me the hand to write magical stories : 

the grand General who came back from the dead, 

bringing new ice cream flavors to all who had ever criticized him. 

Alas, that means everyone  :  in his new subservience the General

was handing out Blood Berry Cream, Massacre Mint,

and Starvation Sundae. His 'best three flavors', as he

put it. It is not necessary to demonstrate facts.

So many things just speak for themselves.
