Common Pursuits

What's on my mind,
In the saucer beneath the dome
Where consciousness I find?

How can two people share one goal?

If they share the words, do they have common sense?
Is the pleasure felt by one, for the other just as intense?
Or is the range of outcomes by one considered right
By the other likewise painted and viewed in the same light?

Let's just suppose.

But what either really wants now
Neither even knows.

Dimly apprehended, shadow of future maybe:
The grand strategy of disordered life is based
On the gurglings of a baby!
