“for there is no place/that does not see you.”
— Rainer Maria Rilke
Lady Macbeth and Pilate knew
to at least wash their hands
after making such decisions
you say you can’t see where
you are much less where
you are going so you allow
caution to make your mistakes
allow others to draw your lines
thick with misunderstandings
one’s position is without
consequence beyond context
a bird shits in your hand while
two sing nearby and you sadly
still cannot decide what to do
