The World I Live In



I have refused to live
locked in the orderly house of
    reasons and proofs.
The world I live in and believe in
is wider than that. And anyway,
    what's wrong with Maybe? 

You wouldn't believe what once or
twice I have seen. I'll just 
  tell you this:
only if there are angels in your head will
    you ever, possibly, see one.
