The moment it raises its head
like a mole past a hill
surveying the moment/ situation/ fields
and timing opportune to lay its net
You need stay vigilant
and dare not look it in the face
lest a cue of cognizance
is/be betrayed
Not even a smile perfunctory
or a handshake unmeant
Could be offered not
even a branch olive
For the moment you try
to embrace or identify with it
or offer it any acquaintance
however remote or faint
From a molehill
it turns into a mountain
Capable of eclipsing/
Large enough to eclipse
the shiniest of knowing
or wisdom you might have gleaned
Bliss or blessing guised
itay take forms/ wear faces many
Ignorance is something however
you can't ever afford to befriend
