<div style='text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;'>Come out and talk to me</div>
<div style='text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;'>for then I know</div>
<div style='text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;'>into what you are shaping.</div>
<div style='text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;'>Thinking is no more,</div>
<div style='text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;'>I read your thoughts for a symbol:</div>
<div style='text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;'>a movement towards an act.</div>
<div style='text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;'>I give up on thought</div>
<div style='text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;'>as I see your mind</div>
<div style='text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;'>leading into a mystery</div>
<div style='text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;'>deeping about you.</div>
<div style='text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;'>What are you trying to discover</div>
<div style='text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;'>beyond the zone of habit</div>
<div style='text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;'>and enforced convention?</div>
<div style='text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;'>There is the animus</div>
<div style='text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;'>that spends itself on images,</div>
<div style='text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;'>the most complex being</div>
<div style='text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;'>convention and habit.</div>
<div style='text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;'>You shall form patterns</div>
<div style='text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;'>of research and bind yourself</div>
<div style='text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;'>to laws within your knowledge,</div>
<div style='text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;'>and always conscious of your limitations</div>
<div style='text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;'>make settlement,</div>
<div style='text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;'>with patience to instruct you</div>
<div style='text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;'>as it always does</div>
<div style='text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;'>in your research: an arrangement</div>
<div style='text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;'>spanning an abyss of time,</div>
<div style='text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;'>and you will find yourself patient</div>
<div style='text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;'>when you are questioned.</div>
