.
. . Don't look too closely: Don't peel back the layers, Chisel beyond the initial surface And apply one's analytics . As though through a magnifying glass, Through a loupe of Close criticality Or through the needling dial of . A tightened microscope - Of exact focus, Glaring clarity or the desperate, Itching need . That might requisite A direct, and grueling . Scrutiny. . . All reason falls apart, all motive disassembled, When looked at too closely - When observed then for driving purpose, or with Such unrelenting . Importunity. . . Better to let laying beasts lie; better bliss Than to understand Beyond the initial allure and sentimental novelty That is the resting appeal and deliberate preservation . Of keeping a mystery, a mystery. . . .
