they reminded him of Wittgensteins
Tractatus
a treatise that he
rather

thought he might be
able to follow
every

any more than the high school proofs
for Geometry
while he apparently liked the

Fathers imposing hardwood desk
they sat quietly across from each
other
they sat for a long time
he
had nothing more to say
the priest cleared his throat
And
What do you say father
he smiled
Wovon man nicht sprechen kann, darüber muss

That is German Whereof one cannot speak thereof one must be silent
Also Wittgenstein the last proposition of Tractatus
