Contemplation
When I take the time to contemplate
this awareness that is me
I marvel at the mystery
that makes this statement true
“I am simultaneously
both me
and the one that is contemplating me”
that which is doing the contemplating
is the very thing being contemplated
how objective can it then be
to consider an opinion
if that opinion
is about the one
whose opinion it is
I wonder if that
is the reason why
we shake our heads in wonder
and deem ourselves to be
innately
certifiably
just a teeny bit
around the bend.
