Swimming At the Precipice of the Abyss

Listen to poem:
Swimming at the Precipice of the Abyss
David J Walker

The passion of the arguments 
Prove nothing if not immeasurable
In the division of contemplations
Among fish
Emendations shared 
Omniscience declared 
Axioms accepted in 
Fading light

Watching them swim
In never-ending circles
Of inductive argument 
Undetected in the limits of 
aquatic sight

Wondering if they too 
Wonder about intelligent life
Beyond the confines of the fishbowl 
Swimming at the precipice 
Of  the abyss
