To live so that even those
who would choose however
benignly to destroy
all that I treasure
are irrelevant and
superfluous to my real joys.
to cheat time
not so much by
living fast but making
sure to fill in the
gaps opened by every second
of light provided me by the sun
and the moon.
to be such a friend to others
that in our connections
there is energy loaded onto a
grid that no power company
can claim to own nor lose
in a whirlwind nor fail
in catastrophe.
to see through all the posturing
and strutting and know that
it is all vanity and that without
an audience a fool
is only foolish and nothing more.
