hedging bets.

I wonder if empathy
is the sole preserve
of the visionary.

Life only begins when you
learn how to live it
so I'll give it a go.

I don't know if I am
ever going to get there
wherever there
might be, but
the journey so far
has been
interesting.

Whatever.

If I am uniformity
the enormity of it
strikes me,
someone
likes me
likes the
ludicrousness of
the poetry
loves
what could be
a visionary
but
we all see things
differently
don't we?
