Plausibility

The husk of you
lies somewhere
under water or
cracking on the dry
sand, a relic, amphibian,
a fossil.  Warm for 
the museum, under glass,
seen though water,
locked in ice.  Honest 
curiosity fills the emptiness;
your dead eyes
see like chromium spheres
all of this.  You know.  You
have all the answers.
While here, you have left
only questions and slime
and the awful 
gift of
plausibility.
