slant's the charge in Parable's grenade; the wacky

wisdom known to clowns and prophets who can

snatch a glimpse of Life beyond Death's stranglehold,

and dare proclaim the Emperor has no clothes

slant's the foil to one-eyed seeing, that perceives

the markers God has planted in the plane of Entropy

and Time to point beyond, yet can't resolve their

swirls and almost-pattems; slant's the offset angle

of the second eye, which allows for solid seeing

so some can glimpse a 3D image starting to cohere

beyond the plane: the Parable enfleshed, the Prince

of Slant-Death's trophy kill, securing Death's defeat.
