To live non-affirming
to live not at all
To hide in the shadows
and creep down the hall
To live uncommitted
new doubts to contend
All time intermittent
repressed till the end
To live without friendship
alone on the rock
A wandering echo
reflections that mock
To live undecided
with doubt your best friend
a future derided
—the present pretend

Another great piece Kurt,as always
Thanks so much.
Great write, great rhythm. Detachment seems to be in the air these days, and, as always, poets are the guage.
So well said. Thanks Eugene.
you could easily title this
'statuette modernity's, insular status'
...
great insight as ever, dear Poet
Thanks, appreciated.
