TO BE FAIR (BUBBLE)

to be fair
not right to condemn you
                           just so

change your landscape
alter a few
     dimensions
can get you

         to believe anything
Nietzsche has, I believe,
         a clear advantage over Socrates
in sticking with this

caught in your context
            lacking the acumen to escape,
or height to
      see over the parapet

soon your environment surrounding
you like a hemisphere, a sphere,
a bubble
        and that, in truth,
is your whole world

        and my world too, and all
our worlds if you had any say in it

not for not speaking and coercing
have you failed in that regard

                 still it sometimes looks
almost pretty, though, observing
from the outside how
        light refracts within
                        your bubble
