Taking Temporary Refuge in Sextus Empiricus (Poem)

Wearied by these discussions of things I cannot affect

Storms darken the skies over mountains coasts plains deserts

Bombs fall upon the helpless here and here and here

Parties await the change of the year in metropolei cities towns villages

Babies get born die people get sick die some recover all eventually die

All sometimes just too much and I want to say stop of course nothing stops

My primeval self-concept urges flight back to measured tranquility

Suspension of belief wants immersion again in Skeptical therapeutics

Indeed this provides a temporary respite but only that

Now a different path engages me

With this world other worlds the endless arguments that give them form.
