insular

as is, often, when insular
i am i
hesitate with certainty
withdrawn. there
is no reason
you involve
where you aren't.
so i am distance.
comprehension
is not understanding. only
because you can
not know
me, even though
i preside.

subtlety is self worth,
knowing limitations
lends itself to the giving
of shit. well,
there i am, here.
if you can
not see me
i am not me. there
are certainly shallow
waters elsewhere
i left long ago.
