But is it literally true that
In fantasy anything is possible
Klein bottle and cat’s hovering smile yes

And let’s not get snared in a taxonomy of faculties
Fancy against imagination that tipped Coleridge
Whereas the capacity of fictive cognition is claimed unlimited

But surely the unimaginable obtains
And of that we cannot speak
Putting into words an undiscovered nothing

For if we attempt such an act
Words will create the special effect
Of a nothingsomething residing in the ethermatter

Those famous green ideas
Which are colorless
And greenly burn in colorless fury

Or the facile resort to
Uahthantig sens jrahklom
Which Doipoln alleluci tucoign gurdriff dni

And yet there are unimaginable somethings
Can you imagine twelve or five
Or compassion or equality

And definite but unimaginable nothings
Like the necessity of a well-regulated militia
Or the substitutive retribution

What now is proven was once only imagined
An idealistic formulation
But not a fact of history

And some things are too big to imagine too    there isn’t a word
Holocaust mistreatment of even one person the death of a child
And we must imagine what we dare not imagine
