It’s intriguing,
this confusion.
Fascinating even.
It’s coming from a well I think-
a hollowed brick adjacent one-
sat between myself and I.
I can’t see inside it,
beyond it or behind it.
It’s swallowing common sense and will alike.
Drowning them even,
I can’t catch either-
not while both rest on water,
Not till I’ve seen the bigger picture.
