Trusted thoughts form a wall

            to keep unwanted thoughts out.

This is what we are,

           thoughts with a wall round.

The wall is only very slightly permeable,

            just enough to keep things fresh in feeling

but without any real novelty.

            Most seem to think their thoughts

are open, special and free wheeling,

            because somehow (?) thoughts excrete a sensation

of being open, special and free wheeling.

            But thoughts are consistent and always in the same spot,

which is the opposite of open, special and free wheeling.

            So, can one really trust thoughts

if thoughts have a consistent way of behaving,

            but feel otherwise?

To be sure we don’t find this a depressing query

            or at least we’re not sure we do

because we know knowing to be made of these untrustworthy thoughts.

            Neither happiness, depression, or any other sensation

is what we think them to be, not at all.
