Tub and Torch











Tub and Torch


He is honesty
Squatting naked in a tub
Haunting the streets of Athens
Clutching his torch
Seeking anyone
Who speaks the truth
Diogenes is no fool
He knows full well
The mirror yields no truth
Nor Alexander's shadow
Nor his black steed
Blocking the Sun's reason
Diogenes' dry tub
His hot torch
Reveal the emptiness of
Dogma
