Analysis of Veracity
Can truth exist
within a vacuum
Can it stand alone
without listener or teller
Can its words contain value
left to themselves
Can its verity outlive
its many disciples
Can its hope transcend
all circumstance and change
Can truth given unto itself
—exist at all
(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2015)
