If I only knew

How to get through me to you . . .

Does my heart speak fear?

Was my soul molded by weak hands?

The surface, full of easy tasks

while underneath remains uncracked

An unanswerable question

constantly echoes

evermore amorphous and pervasive

Shapeless feelings, tangled thoughts

Tell me,

What is your method of

isolating the variables?

A Scientist lost in quest

to define transitory beasts

beasts born from emptiness,

from whatever’s left in Pandora’s Box . . .

Following a line and

still missing the point

Stuck looping on Penrose Steps

When

will

I

find

the key?
