risk

Suddenly, we have left behind the sometimes loving relationship
with the self-sufficient locality, the shore,
not to be depended on for guidance.
So haphazard at that.
Letting loose, I for one open market.
Did I not have my shelves full of them?
high speed, crowded, risk.
Well, I cannot be self-denying about that.

Do I not accept the mobility?
I complain, yes,
and I might even draw some excitement,
universality, knowledge and communication.
But I am none too wise to my own barbituates and guns.
The truth is my own ignorance,
stretched almost too much for me to contemplate.
