WHICH IDEAL CAN BE NEITHER EXCLUDED NOR DISCUSSED

say soar for philosophy or glide for religion but say heaven both times ... and what a taboo in my community there is against that word ... the old folks they used to talk about it all the time ... just the one man talking and the rest listening ... but the rest of us label it either a myth or a folly giving the first just a temporary dignity over the second ... but what a folly to call heaven a myth as if it belonged to a category of things that could be true or false ... heaven if it's true at all never could be in a category that includes the false ... it's not heaven in a myth that's true or false ... it's all that other stuff ... all the intrigues and adventures all the wars and the murders we used to call purgatory and hell ... point is it's out there on the fringes where purgatory starts letting up that the sacred kingdom begins ... known in my community to be sacred so that we have the taboo against speaking or thinking about it ... known to be a kingdom because all we've done in the history of government is try to imitate it ... its boroughs over the water ... its cities on the hill ... they always show us morning ... over there there is no night
