by M. Douglas Hoss
With shocking clumsiness
Her long-time companion, Sense,
Says there's no point in going on because
Among such impediments, our nobodies
Fear the images of failure.
Most of us don't want to think about
Such dangerous visions.
Yet, we are harassed by love
As always still a possibility.
