To know with certainty
To point wholeheartedly to causes
To fill an essentially simple space
With utilitarian explanations
To take up prejudices on a whim
Or with the tide of popular opinion
That re-enforces their vicious humour
And repudiates all else
Until doubt is fled and
Clouds of reason crowd
The pathways of experience
Until you lose your footing
Stumble and get turned around
And finally see that
Firmly engrained uncertainty
In the textures of your mind
