solitaire
no commendation
no condemnation
but nobody knows
how shallow
or deep
the hermit’s wits
not by commission
but by omission
his latency grows
into a
deep sleep
with no exits
growing attrition
void of contrition
who shall expose
how hollow
or cheap
the broken bits
no ammunition
no manumission
daily he goes
like callow
lost sheep
bound by defeats

Thanks, Ahavati.
I felt the urge to look inside the head of the recluse. In Jamaica, folk have a way of saying that the madman on the street is simply "taking a break" from the trials of life. When you think of it, some of these victims are university drop-outs. One cannot judge the truth by simply looking on.
I appreciate the RL acclamation.

No; one cannot. Covers have a history of remaining an illusion over the true nature of their contents.

Well said, by one who understands the difference between superficiality and substance!
