The moth’s desire for muzziness of moon
Looms large in some men’s minds. They seem to think
That muddled paradox, that Indian rune
Philosophy, is fine because its link,
Its line goes back in mistiness. That’s good
Enough for them. They think that mystery
Because it speaks from in the neighborhood
Of ancient fuzz defies the history
Of logic. Rationality ain’t best
And facts are stupid. Beatles smoke their pot
And think that they have finished up their quest
For ancient wisdom. Can you spot the blot?
It’s not that magic mushrooms were not used.
It’s more that logic’s masters were refused.
