Omniscience

This is the last
poem from
"The Marginal line"

Some triumph
Of the intellect
While grazing
On his bone.

Subtotalled all
The arguments
On everything
That's known.

And following
The wake of those
Well versed
In such discourse.

Was so convinced
Of certainty.
He thought his
Thoughts
His own.
