I asked a judge

how he would define a law

he took a piece of paper from my desk

and dipped his quill in the inkpot of it

and wrote words across it

but he did not show me the paper

I waited a long time

but he did not show me the paper

I had no means to know

if he were wiser than I nor I him

later the paper was divided back into the calculus of its origin

over many years by means of dust

and there was no man alive

who could read its lexicon

even a blind man by brail
