root of roots (title taken from e.e. cummings)

the root of roots
the face behind all faces
our gut instinct
like a jellyfish
floats unimpeded through substanceless liquid
knows what it knows
which is more

would give it
credit for

snow and sun
exist at once
smile and scream
laugh, cry
daring to seek why
whoa!
close the book
open the eye
of the heart
the audacity
to know
