Wishing all a happy holiday! (I have been putting together what I hope will be the final revision of a new poetry book--I'll have more to post on the blog once that is finished--soon, I hope!)
Life As It May Be
You do this, you do that
You argue left, you argue right
You come down, you go up
This person says no, you say yes
Back and forth
You are happy
You are really happy
- Ikkyu
(1394-1481)
And here is a quote especially for the "elders" of this day:
"To me, old age is always fifteen years older than I am."
- Bernard Baruch (1870- 1965)
