Certainty is a passenger,
resting comfortably
on the load bearing threads;
such a ready thing, running back
and forth, similar to opposite,
fixed like so many desires
on an inward frame.

memory rests,
partly converted to sound.
At the edge of memory,
reactions where we fall
apart are simple
as long as there is no bounce.

How are these the same
thing and not prove to be the source of trouble?
