Slow Drip
30 January 2012, San Francisco
For teachers & mentors
Intermittent plinks
drumming a pail
makes me wonder
if the pail will ever
be full. But life...
Life diverts my attention
until the pail softly overflows
and reminds me of the
vagaries of wisdom.
I decide wisdom is wasted
when hoarded in anticipation
of some future drought.
