Episode 99. Little Mac's Poem of Inscrutable Joy

Inscrutable is not a poker face
not in the higher reaches

the fog rises out of joy
the evergreens appear and disappear
in a dance of delight

Nothing is hidden to gain an advantage
A truly inscrutable mind is a mystery
out in the open

Unfathomable joy
from which the little mysteries of misery
try to hide

like mice from the claws
of a plummeting hawk
coming out of the fog but

too late!
