beliefs define the limits of our minds
and everybody has them; even if
they think themselves beyond such ancient things,
as dwellers among well-established fact
this privileged position isn’t one
of argument, or even working thought;
it merely is asserted and affirmed
by others of like mind, who then are done
so who are they among us who don’t know
they have beliefs, like everybody else?
they’ve either no perspective, or they are
so fattened up with hubris they are blind
the poles of ignorance and arrogance
that do not know they turn around beliefs
