The Manuscript Gregory Bateson Esalen, October 5, 1978 So there it is in words Precise And if you read between the lines You will find nothing there For that is the discipline I ask Not more, not less Not the world as it is Nor ought to be - Only the precision The skeleton of truth I do not dabble in emotion Hint at implications Evoke the ghosts of old forgotten creeds. All that is for the preacher The hypnotist, therapist and missionary They will come after me And use the little that I said To bait more traps For those who cannot bear The lonely Skeleton of Truth |
