Naive


Weary traveler
or awestruck tourist.
Which one travels farther?

Cynical teacher
or gullible student.
Which one learns more?

Charismatic preacher
or earnest believer.
Which one leads the way?

Wary Traveler

Alone, on a strange
Promenade, where balustrades
Hang flanked by gargoyles.
We witness the city morph
Into a giant beehive.

Wary Traveler 2

The journey home leads
To a city that has grown
Over itself, like
A beetle’s shell beneath which
The forgotten roam for love.
