Today, I realized
That I’m neither stupid nor intelligent
But I happen to be both
Of my stupidity
There is much evidence
My undesirable attributes which contribute to all my wrongs
My tendency to overlook and exaggerate
To be unprepared and miscalculate
To feel genuine sorrow and mourn my mistake
But then to wake up in the morrow and forget yesterday’s horrors
Not realizing that although the morning brings new opportunities, change begins within
Now, of my intelligence
Considerably less is to be said
Only that I’m aware
That I’m stupid

Poetry: Life's paradox

Unravelling its links

Small, iridescent wings
beat their incessant rhythm
as they carry their wee burden

deplete of everything ever put off.
The future

Ties us up in knots and bows
Quivers in enlightened

Do not rage cultivating proof of both creation
