(Poem) Between Certain and Uncertain



Drifting denizen
Of the allegory of the cave
Raises questions on thy appearance?
Some make sense;
Some vague creates…

Drifting denizen
Of the allegory of the cave
Cringing, crouching, and huddling
Staggering, tumbling, and falling…

Drifting denizen
Of the allegory of the cave
Going round and round in a circular fence…

Drifting denizen
Of the allegory of the cave
Crawling, babbling, and shrugging…
Humming, laughing, and crying…

Drifting denizen
Of the allegory of the cave
Like a shuttlecock once to certain then to uncertain…
