Any suggestions

on how elders can best cope

with youthful indiscretions?

~

Just harken back to

your many youthful follies

and remember, you survived.

A Divine Collect

How can we insure

with each passing year, we’ll grow

wiser, more compassionate?

~

We must be like gods:

hearts open, desires known,

from ourselves no secrets hid.

Like Henri Michaux,

poets should write what they know,

so what will be your subject?

~

Sassy sons who plague

their mothers with questions such

as this is what I know best.

When even Einstein

says knowledge must be paired with

thoughtful care, who can argue?

~

Wise fools and con men

leap immediately forth,

along with politicians.

Certain Knowledge

Is it possible

for a teen to acknowledge

a parent may know some things?

~

When I was thirteen

I knew it all; happily,

I’ve grown dumber since.

So tell me, my fine

son, how can we still shine when

our light has grown dim ?

~

“Luminous beings

Are we, not this crude matter.”

Our glow, inexhaustible.

What’s Great

AND ANYWAY, what

is so great about wisdom?

 It keeps no demons at bay.

~

Demons come and they

go and those on wisdom’s seat

simply watch the show.

What do children and

fools have to offer that wise

men struggle to grasp?

Being a child

And a foolish man some call

Wise, I have no quick reply.
