I Think for a Living
Blame me not
For my critical curiosity
I confess to a major crime:
I think for a living
Forgive my audacity
When I follow your answer
With further questions: I am only
Seeking a path to your hidden brain
I live in a house
Built of if’s, where’s, and how’s
Therefore’s and thereby’s
My why has a very long tale

I am lawyer in the league of forces
All out against the non sequitur
And the hastily mouthed platitude
I thrive on the lore which sustains the logic
With the mind’s eye
Let me see the utterly invisible
Let me live in the house
That is yet un-built
A thinking heart, a feeling mind
Laakaye, baba Ogbon*
The mind which thinks and asks
Is the mind that knows
