The Shallows Are Grounding

The Shallows Are Grounding

To decide is easy.

            A coin can do that,

                        In a toss.

            A Magic 8 Ball

                        With a shake and flip of the wrist

            An algorithm

                        With a data set

It is simple.

            Superficial.

It is unhuman.

To discern,

            Is human.

(But vocations are cliché… )

To practice judgment,

            Is human.

But judging…

            Is hypocritical,

                        And offensive.

                        Oppressive.

Depth causes drowning…

The shallows are grounding;

            The ridiculousness is astounding.
