The Poet

 

 

So poet, you think you’re a mystic?

With oars of words and boats of paper

you navigate the gentle waters

churning them this way and that

 

But deep waters run silent and

I wonder if your oars can reach

the depths that a tiny pebble does

 

But who am I to say,

for Laozi says it better

Those who know do not say,

those who say do not know.
