the dunce




           15. THE DUNCE--- DR.KGB

          Interrogation mark
          My certainty;
          -Yours the full stop.
          The time does suck me
          To its black hole;
         You do draw the sole
         To you;
         To the infinity!

         My visual acuity,
         My Space;
         The surety;
         But Yours!
         The uncertainty;
         The unimaginable
         Ambiguity!

         O the Limitless,
         Me, the two-dimensional;
         The image of yours;
         But you!
         The n-faceted unconditional;
         The Enigma!

         You, the eternal silence;
          Me the eloquence;
          Always the dunce;
          The dependence!

          To transcend you
          My mind,
           To verse you,
           My tongue,
           Rather to word,
           But to be the paralyzed,
           Yesterday,
           Today,
           And the day after!
