Use caution in thinking ill of others and
even more in reporting it.

A
sunset missed is gone, but tomorrow's promise lingers.
Dreams should not be allowed to die until
reality replaces them.
Thought and action should be twins - each
with the same perspective.

LAND’S END |
|
Passers-by do
still pass by
and short of keeping you
face down forever
I have to run the risk
when we go walking
of seeing wars flare up
on battlefields as yet unmarked.
If I must parade you
as the entry in my midnight life
or show you to the sunlight
unmarked by my tattoo of ownership,
I do so proudly
and without a chain.
I have in common with all men
a lump in swimming trunks
and most of us have freckles
on our shoulders.
Men are men.
The worst of us are lonely
in the dark.
All of us are vulgar
when you’ve pulled aside
the final veil.
Some of us are gentle
after four o’clock.
Some of us are poor
in pride or pocket.
Some of us can make you rich
in plain or fancy rooms -
currency not being comfort
only given circumstance.
All of us,
and that’s to each man,
need you more than you need us,
we know that
and you know it too...
- from "Fields of Wonder", 1971 |
