Affirm-Deny

I neither affirm nor deny,

I never guess a reason why,

I propagate the data sets,

Twist and turn until an image reflects

Over and under,

Lighting and thunder,

Tremors that bury deep into the spine,

Eyes wide silent yet learning

Opacity evoking point of break,

I wriggle, I writhe, I do not cry,

I shiver, I shake, I do not over-evaluate,

Seconds guessing to and from

Every nuance I’ve since become

A shadow of the ghost I was before

An entity certain anthropologists,

One day will lust to explore,

I am man, man of flesh

Teeth that gnash and Skin that connects

Flesh to bone

Bone to soul,

I am the originator of my own locale
