A Dissonant Predicament

On matters most particular
solid tangible in essence

Removing doubt and letting out

The substance of your  presence

In relation to each quantity

Discovering quality in place

Where you stand in time and posture

Will every action save you grace

In the end pursuing logically

Exacting proof in your possession

Beware discoloring of passion

Misguided source of your obsession

Oxford Dictionary: Predicament

A difficult, unpleasant, or embarrassing situation:

(In Aristotelian logic) each of the ten ‘categories’, often listed as: substance or being, quantity, quality, relation, place, time, posture, having or possession, action, and passion.
