Checkpoint Charlie
When I was 18 I learned a lesson in jewelry:
A pocketwatch that taught about loss
that was never mine to lose.
I borrowed the euros I paid for it.
Most loss is something felt by ranchers
and bankers
and stock brokers.
Because they own the things they have.
You are not mine and so I cannot lose you.
That's free sadness
and free happiness, too.
