Look in the mirror.
One thing seems clearer.
There’s nothing to fear
From words you don’t hear.

Follow your compass.
Stray from the campus.
The longer you love us,
Divine the Dianthus.

Oral tradition
Roams far from the Mission,
On burros and Horses
Fexofenadine forces.

Fine fragile faces
Find forever in traces
Of work from the past
Made to outlast

This mortal suspension.
The portal pretension
Holds keys to beyond
The wave of a wand.

The work of a hand
Carves pictures in sand.
To understand why
We try and we try.
