Oh Wiseman,
How will I know
when the sky has truly fallen
And the reality I know
is long gone?
I hardly pay enough
attention to notice these things
so how will I know?

Tell me,
Oh Wiseman,
if there are no such things
and I am only dreaming,
Surely you must know!
Why else would I come to you,
of all people?

Oh Wiseman,
I may not
be nearly as wise as you
but this I do know:
Absence of proof
is hardly proof
of Absence.
