To Deal With Complexity,

I spoke with a priest 
who told me that God 
had His reason in everything 
and that prayer and faith were the   

ultimate paths to resolve.   

I spoke with a scientist 
who told me about Darwin 
and Mendel and said that it 
all boiled down to genetics    

and an interaction of chemicals.   

I spoke with a philosopher 
who felt that Marx had it right-- 
that the Capitalistic exploitation 
of man would keep us all   

from true expression.   

I spoke to the Chaos 
who showed me a mother 
holding her child and a man 
shooting another in the head.   

And he said, "Allow it."

Someday at death 
frame after frame will project
upon the mind
The last one
will be you 
Or really me 
watching the you 
return to any room 
at any time.   

And heaven is merely 
the stopped cinematography 
of love re-realized.
