What is it with you?
Only the muscle-bound are welcome
in your gym.
Does the presence of the imperfect
spook you?
What is it with you?
Hoisting yourself up onto
a kitchen counter,
when a point of view
different from your own,
is spoken by someone
sitting on a stool,
in your dining area.
Does the presence
of a caring soul,
who is imperfect,
frighten you?
What is it with you?
Turning aside from
a person,
or people,
who would give
their lives
for you,
because they don’t
fit the mould.
Does the presence
of elders
haunt you?
A beautiful poem, Gary. Recently, I have loved everything you have written, even though I haven’t commented much.
