Perhaps a disciple of Thales of Miletus

I had hoped you would find me 
Instead I gave a link: a silence is 
In me and I don’t believe I will 
Ever be able to break it. I’m not 
Sure what myth it stems from: child 
hood? A bad trip? A long stagnant 
Marriage? I am afraid it is deeper 
Much deeper - it transcends life 
Enters an abyss of existence - perhaps 
That’s why at times I gravitate 
Towards math: the hard sciences 
Their silence and truth reawaken 

My truth: that poetry is part of the code 
My code in life: my silence enjoyed
