Here we are again

      Here we are again, and as groundlings go
      Stiff-armed through a hazy maze of souls
      Treading round life's "merely thus" and "just so,"
      Hope-fed wanderers without a goal.
5     Though blind and timeless as dreaming egos,
      Though blitzed and witless as new-birthed foals
      Who stumble upright without knowing how
      We touch each other while shouldering shoals.
      Two swimmers, caught in clasps, will drown
10    While paired porpoises dauntlessly play
      Their thousand doubtless hours almost as one,
      Touching but as frolic bids them stray.
      So we, blind rounds encased in caustic cares,
      Should play at light and sight, however unaware.
