A Hole
I fixed a hole in the roof
where the rain leaks in by
wearing a hat, and I know
I don't look good in them.
December 1987
Where do we look for advice if
all the old ones are ignored?
Textbooks give us theory while
experience provides reality and
the two shall never meet.
December 1987
I count my successes, keeping a record
of how I want to be remembered;
The failures went into the trash along
with all my aged-out dreams since I am
only measured by those I choose to keep.
