A Prophetic Chicken Madrigal

As with prophetic chickens who will read to you the news,
a systematization of beliefs ain't always true –
that confuses what it is, with what the calculus can do.
Neither madness nor from wine, this thought it comes from Wittgenstein.

But that may be irrelevant Ludwig he so advised:
the cause one finds is the solution even when it's mythic,
illustrating the successful one who's psychoanalytic
still relies on self-fullfillings underlying olden magic.

And not even mystically prophetic,
when put in words like autopoietic,

but if it works, where is the fowl
affronting any set of civil ethics?

Have you observed when those you love have died?
no one but you remembers they existed
no obit to them ever will acknowledge
unless of course they've graduated college.

We're trained the past is ever out of reach,
"it never really was", they even preach,
or did but "that's beside this point of mine,
and 'mad' be called to entertain myth-time".
