Certain Curtains
How to make sure
That there is a measure
Between actualities
And the mind's fantasies?
How to make sure
When the caricature
Is more probable
Than the real trouble?
How to make sure
Of one's nature
Only in sentences
Without presence?
How to make sure
That one's kind gesture
Is not given to deceive,
But what you need to perceive?
How to make sure
That you will be treasured
For the way your brain twirls,
When you're a pretty pearl?
How to make sure
You aren't only for leisure
If you can't read
When they play or heed?
How to make sure
That under seizure,
You are held captive,
Even when unattractive?
How to make sure
Your every feature
Will be embraced
Even if you're crazed?
How to make sure
That the pressure
In the sender is equivalent
To that in the recipient?
How to make sure
That one's exposure
To a safe hydration
Won't lead to explosion?
How to make sure
That the only fracture
Happens when you break,
Not when you can still take?
How to make sure
Your preserved stature
Will only be buried
Once you're no longer carried?
How to make sure
For a future
If nothing will remain
But memory stains?
How to make sure
That the adventure
Is worth the cost
Of getting lost?
