Sage Parable Process

One of the more important parables 
must describe the process of a per
ambulation across the way of 
making wisdom out of unspare
language: here we are together
a friend and a disciple
describing how we see the
world and under estimating
the complicational factor
of setting the earth at odds
with definite The Path,
and our grammar fails us 
again;
and yet, we run on,
sentenced to parable
we saga makers
there can be no total account
all we can do is keep count
and let the numbers flow.
