To Paraphrase Tzu

what you gonna do now
that revolution is mainstream
&
metaphysics ended with Kant

Its a very narcissistic,
childish perspective
Topple the crowns
and place them on my own head
Pharisees, Sadducee's, false prophets

there is sadness in wisdom
that the multitude do not want

You bring the earth and lilacs
into my life and leave me
joyous, and quick witted
If only I could
love exclusively you

A good woman is hard to find
and worth far more
than rubies.
You shall know her
by her knitting
and sowing
but those only
worth loving
are
crazy ones
