Of Rainbows and Fairness

We long for answers. For a way to clear
the shadows of doubt from the mind.
We want uncertainty to disappear,
confusion and complexity – unwind

onto the straight and narrow – a pier
above the murky waters of the mind.
The only way to go. Nothing queer.
No thread of Ariadne to unwind.

We wish for clear weather, warm and dry,
but clear thinking quickly makes it clear
as wind sweeps all the clouds from the sky
the rainbows will also disappear.
