The Boundary of My Ignorance

Posted on 20 Jul 2017 by Alan Reynolds

The boundary of my ignorance is a point
upon an other wisely absent line
itself too straight to curve itself around
circumferences. My ignorance is unbound.

The more I learn, less brightly burns the light
illuminating spaces I can’t know.
This lets me think I’m winning wisdom while
in fact the gods in kindness make me blind.
