Transferring credit funds to cover
negative bank accounts

That seems like poetry
Already, I'm unsure

But isn't art
Taking something mundane
and making it beautiful?

What if it fails?

Ever since that first date with
how do you say... my significant other
On top of the Ferris wheel
We've been going round and round

It's not a cycle theme
Excuse me
At least it doesn't seem

According to philosophy
(and my wife)
I know nothing

Surely the creditor would agree
But he's being recorded for quality
assurance

As I am being surgically taped to a
chaired existence
Where the rub burns are strawberry
fresh and alive
I ask

what can be said tonight?

My mind's too right...

And you do that quite well, dear Walt. Glad to see you back on this ferris wheel.

the poem lives up to the title... and i feel as unsure lately as you seem to...
enjoyed, as always.

"According to philosophy
(and my wife)
I know nothing"

The wise man knows he knows nothing.  




it's our struggle for identity that leaves us all unknown
