The philosopher known as George Berkeley denied the existence of all matter, curtly. Still, when he wanted pie, he wouldn't be denied, but made sure he ate it covertly.

Spared the Human Curse [Free Verse]
Seven Sages were spared the sickness
of perceiving the possibility of perfection,
a "perception" of the patently impossible --
in truth, just dim and flimsy imaginings of mind,
and, so, they didn't mind the inevitable
flaws of the human world.

A Poor Place to Be [Lyric Poem]
A turned field on a cloudy day. A clapboard shack, with threat of rain. Oh, it's so dark and gloomy - a rickety roost, not so roomy. Staring out the window, wondering: was that sound grumble or thundering? Grumble of stomach, thunder of sky? And I can't see out this bad eye.
