058.365 - the half-Vulcan is dead

of course, he was half-human too
so sometimes he got his logic skewed
but the Vulcans had trained him well
often his logic was
he didn't understand our makes-sense ways
in which almost anything we want to do
makes sense
and most of us couldn't follow logic
when he led us by the hand
and humor was more alien to him
than making sense
I like to think one gift death gave him
was seeing the cosmic joke
how important we think we are
and how little we mean to the cosmos
I like to think of him laughing finally
his face relaxed
his hand holding the Buddha's
