Watch out for intellectbecause it knows so much it knows nothingand leaves you hanging upside downmouthing knowledge as your heartfalls out of your mouth.

Watch out for intellect
because it knows so much it knows nothing
and leaves you hanging upside down
mouthing knowledge as your heart
falls out of your mouth.
Anne Sexton

in the stone boats. They are more like stone
than the sea would be if it stopped. They refuse
to be blessed throat eye and knucklebone.
