Accept Except

Even one plus one
can surprise you
yielding a some-
thing that's true
that's not two.

If you’re certain,
run against your grain.
Closed curtains
are full of pinholes;
the bricks of the world
have hollow backs.
Chance tearing
the fabric.

If you are interested
in beating the odds,
embrace them.
To be specific:
nothing’s odd
that’s held close,
and nothing’s true
that isn’t false.

Where you’re stuck,
take leave, and what
you can’t believe in,
believe.
