Equivocal: Uncertainty

Awakened in
The middle
Of the night
By the sniffles

And still later,
By a noisy dream
Or was it real?
I could not discern,

Runny nose,
Unmotivated, tired,
Later concluded
Was a sinus cold,

Lethargy,
Uncertainty and doubt,
Punctuated by amusing insightful interludes
And more mystification,

Not sure
Where this is going
But eventually
Will reach some conclusion,

Unreliability
Of experience
On my mind,
Wondering,

Upon what then
Do I base
My conclusions?
Bafflement,

As I try to
Figure that one out,
Pausing only to sneeze three times
And blow my nose.
