At the Gates

The assortment was wide and colorful.
The man was put down there
to make his choice.
What a heavy charge!
The multitude of choices,
the multitude of consequences.
Bloody weakness.
Desperation.

First, the ingenious one, the brave,
will go for the quest
and look for the best.
Facing unknown,
breathing knowledge.

Making decisions is not easy.
Imaginary cause.
Imaginary effect?
Correlation perhaps...
The rest is ambiguity.
Unknown.
Even two paths raise difficulties:
Ivory? Horn?
The gates of immaterial fancies!
