SELFI
What I
know and what I feel:
a
monumental gap. I know I
should
feel thankful, thanks
a lot.
Gracias. But I don’t.
I take it for granted. Entitled.
I know knowing
about starving
immigrant children
should make
me feel
like finishing my spinach
and
squash. But it doesn’t.
Knowing better
doesn’t make
no never mind-set.
I know
that much.
I would
like to say that four
hospitalizations for mania and
depression, getting released
from one
job, quitting another,
plus over 50 years in
the educating
business educating youth from
7th
grade to college age, has mellowed
and softened me, given wisdom
and empathy if not compassion
but it hasn’t. Wretch like me.
Just describing here
Not a
whine.
