What little
I know of scientific method
tells me a theory is no use that only fits
ninety-five
per cent of the results—
it's in the last five that that the truth lies,
on
the
margins of experience
our gospel is defined. In the Gadarene tombs
Christ
and the madman have finished their business
and while we, clothed and in our right minds
consider
what it means for us here and now
he has given us the slip, crossing
the
dark, storm-bothered waters of Gennesaret
to 42nd Street and Auschwitz: the pimps, drunks, addicts,
psychotics,
murderers and those whom they destroy,
these will be redeemed, or nobody at all.
Gadarene tombs cf Mark 5 for the story of the demon-possessed man.
Gennesaret The Sea of Galilee.
