The Faith of Reason
By Nicholas Damion Alexander
A book-littered bed
a drizzling fan
chaos like order
regularizing
the disorder
of a mind
in total control
of what it cannot
manipulate
Which Nothing
created this god?
must be the Evil Genius
Descartes discussed—
the Faith of Reason:
something Hume
couldn’t awaken
from its dogmatic
slumber
