Being enlightened.
Knowing you’re not enlightened.
Pretty much the same thing.

Take These Roads, Please!
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
And glad that I could travel both
And be two travelers
Because I’m schizophrenic.

The Fly
H ere,
In this beautiful world,
A fly is trapped in my house.
Trapped.
It's buzzing madly against the window glass,
Certain there must be an opening,
Beckoned by the light of the outside world,
The outside world,
Just a fraction of an inch away,
An impenetrable fraction of an inch.
Here,
In this beautiful world,
Where all things are possible,
This Garden of Eden where life explodes,
Where love and hate contend,
Where joy, real joy is actually possible,
A fly is trapped in my window.
I get a clear plastic cup
Reserved for such rescues
And capture the exhausted creature,
Gently sliding a square of cardboard beneath
To prevent escape.
Here,
In this dangerous world,
Where evil survives and babies die,
A fly was trapped in my house,
And I opened the door
And I let it go.

The Newer Colossus
Don’t give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
I extinguish my lamp beside the golden door.
Go away.
We’re full.
