At What Age?
At what age do we stop letting our children win the foot race and start running our best to push them to run their best?
At what age do we let go of the strings we've pulled since they were infants in our arms?
At what age do we step back and let them fail?
At what age do we let go of our ideas of what they should do and be?
At what age do we stop caring about what others think of them?
At what age do we stop worrying about what we think they reveal about us?
Just how old do we have to be?

Wishful Thinking
The future is a fun
House mirror
Mocking from eyes
Of your children.
Inside each Russian
Egg is another
Year just like the last
Static over Alaska.
If only we could decode
Repeating patterns
From space, might we hear
Meaning becoming angelic?
Balloons burst confetti
One nation to another:
Calendars all are now
On sale for 50% off.
[Disposable Poem December 31, 2009]
