Out of My Mind

All humans are mortal.
Socrates is human.
Therefore, Socrates is mortal.

Here is the premise,
And the conclusion.

Body and mind are one.
Mind = Soul
Soul = Body?

Neither seems right.

Body ≠ Soul.
Nor does Body = Mind.

My body is my soul’s sole purpose.

(In logic and symbols,
In words and equations.)

Here’s my reason:
Minds reason.

My mind is valid–
It’s not sound.

It’s a false conclusion.
All the signs point to it.
The system of logic says so.

If this, then that.
And if that, then this.
Is it this, or that?
Not this? Not that?

The premise and the conclusion.
Neither appear clear to me:
my mind,
body,
nor soul.
