demote learning as a solution to troubles
yes and no are part of every response
good and evil never resolve
learning to fear what others fear is nonsense
some are comfortable participating in cultic celebrations
others spring quickly to revel in seasonal events
alone I drift not knowing my place
like a newborn thrashing grimacing
alone testing and trusting without a foundation
others have a surfeit of things
alone I have nothing a confused fool riding in all directions
others have bright-line guidance
alone I remain muddled
others profit from their cleverness
alone I appear stupid dull
like waves of the sea
alone I am tossed by wind
everyone is diligent busy
alone aimless directionless
my difference
I am nourished by mother’s grandmother
