Disbelief

I could be content that way, I think.
It would be nice to have a certainty,
A definition. I can sometimes wink
At certain points that always seem to be
Off-kilter, but I would prefer to know,
And know undoubtedly. To live in fear
Of what may change is not my way, and so
I think I'd be content. It may seem queer
To give so much up for that clarity,
But those who think so do not understand
The way I think. I am incredibly
Conservative that way, and so I stand
More happily in certainty. I choose
Not what may win, but what will never lose.
