whilst I’ve been wasting my life
working full time
helping out
jumping from one activity
to another
always looking for something new
to learn
I look at
the work of contemporaries
beautifully developed
painting
writing
scholarship
as deep as I’m wide
but I turn away
look for another new path
That is a very fine time-to-take-a-good-breath poem, Anna. If I remember rightly, Ted Roethke said, "We learn by going where we have to go"?
