The cars race by
But only in a sound.
The mowers mow loudly
But only in a sound.
The winds jostle the leaves
But only in a sound.

All I can trust is what I see
But what makes my sight
So much more reliable?

A car screeches in the distance
But only in a sound.
How much cause is thee ever to screech?
Who ever goes that fast?
Is his baby being born?
Did his father have a heart attack?

How much can I rely on anything?
What if all this were a conspiracy?
A lie?
Can I trust anything at all?
Or solve anything?

Our existence is so shakable. No ground lies strong beneath. We just accept it. Well, that's all we could do. At least we're not going crazy.
