“I am the laboratory (Sonnet 2676) Your dictionaries don't matter, your philosophies don't matter, your scriptures don't matter, your constitutions don't matter, your courts, crowns, vaticans, and washingtons don't matter - bring your brain, heart and backbone, but leave everything else at the door, your dictionary, your scripture, your constitution, your philosophy, or do not enter, there'll be no point. Truth is a garden, not a factory, which means dead leaves must fall, new branches must be tendered to. I am the laboratory, I am the court room, I am the operating theatre, I am the decontamination zone.”
