a quote of Danny Thomas,
actor, comedian and founder of St. Jude Hospital
<>
wow.
who among us can say the same,
dare even to think they know the answer,
the young think,
too early, not yet, I’ve got time,
to figure it out,
and better yet,
change my mind
the elders think,
dare not this to ask myself,
lest the answer is less than satisfactory,
and the opportunity of time to supply,
a good answer, grows dangerously delimited
I,
struggle with this quest,
its penetrating sustaining pain,
that issue random screeches and stitches,
with spikes covered in the tarnish of indecent indecision,
to temporal~allay,
momentarily, get~
got some satisfaction
for my harshest critic,
Mr. 3m’s
(me, myself & eyes)
reach for a new poem solution,
every morning of every day
until a mark
beside it
doth appear
involuntary that is
is not a question mark
but a checkmark
