for the record

history allows a single simple take
each eye may glimpse a portion of the whole
and hand reach out for but a meagre dole

no twig in autumn that in spring won't break
out into leaf so it says on the scroll
history allows a single simple take

you think the true is different from the fake
that each of us is easy to cajole
a trusting eager uncomplicated soul
history allows a single simple take
