personal uncertainty

A grave and serious error occurs
when we have assumed the best and worst
on basis so slim as what one brings
another one in these everyday things.
For all we know, this one so good
in what they give us, we bring out
in them, is a demon accursed
and bringer of harm to the one
who discards that perilous friend.
Or the one who has pushed, and slammed
and pulled us every which way, who has spat
on our name - may yet be a blameless angel
blessed by all who uphold their good
in vain.
