Sustainable Uncertainty

Our lack of surety

in our going forward

Can be a small

apogee of self analysis

Which serves us,

actually, exquisitely well.


We need not close these boxes

in the moving; permanently,

temporarily past their contents of

either, copper coins and or,

fetching gilded rubies of worth


with their representing

the uncertainties therein

which remain in our

inexorable passings,

set clearly forward:


Time quanta,

the gods' only true gift;

forward markers,

our clarity in the present;

choices of subject,

concerning their libraries,

the libraries of the many

which are held in time and

placed in analysis with

the scraping of fingers in

the mining of imaginings

beyond that dross and

and the shinny baubles

of stone and stardust;

or, the vibrational exchange of the

camaraderies made of a peace

with both self and others;


moving forward, not knowing,

is most sustainably acceptable.


It is ultimately in being where we are

with legitimate and accepted uncertainty

simply beside, around and too, behind us.
