as the art of constructing a weak
but elaborate foundation
to support a simple but heavy opinion.
Sooner or later, that
which seemed new, brave, and rigorous
will collapse under the weight
of the opinion and
because of the weakness.
The opinion shall remain,
functioning mostly
as a grave-marker,
for--just over there!--
shall have arisen
an impressive new structure
to which the flocks are flocking.
