Things we see,

    but are not seen:

Oh Why, Master Navigator

can we never glean

or at least discern

the difference between

what we Have

&

What we have to learn?

The subtle artillery slit that splits

    the barking & the banking

    (the mad & the bad) -

What’s on deposit or, at least

on hold,

  for the days that are not long

resonate

  fearfully

Cold...
