From my safe

Metaphysical perch

Into the world of politics

I open myself up

To criticism

Because I could be wrong

Metaphysics is unprovable

But framing

Based on facts

May be undercut

If the facts are undercut

To the extent they are facts

Anyway

Who knows what a fact is today?

What is a fact?

Is it what an expert says it is?

How about an institution?

Did you enjoy your heart attack jabs?

Still

Interpretations may be wrong

I may make an ass out of myself

That’s okay

Even if scary

I’ve done it before

And

I’ll do it again

The important thing

Is looking at the wrong interpretation

Unflinchingly

And revising my opinion

Accordingly

I’m not the smartest fish in the sea

But

The willingness to do this

Seems rarer

Than a thin 25 year old virgin

without tattoos
