Relative Valentine

One of the things we had to do
after eliminating the monsters
and the giants was drain the swamps
first on the physical level and
then metaphorically to think
was still relatively novel starting
out as a pure flood an amazing
flowering and reaching forward
into its sources until we personally
got involved from one nation
to one family to every individual
thinking has come down
like an old armoire or mysterious
cabinet or medicine chest
we carry everywhere with us
but refuse to open or even
remember it’s there

I think it's a survival mechanism. Keep returning to Max Shuster's "Guns don't kill people. Imagination kills people." That's probably not it verbatim. But the gist of it.
