The Free Life


To live a life free
of pain and suffering
is not a blessing.

To live a life free
of doubt and questioning
is not a blessing.

To live a life free
of interference from others
is not a blessing.

To live a live full
of these things
is not a curse, either.

Philosophy

Night shrugs off its stars,
Punctured by twisted branches.
Frogs can’t stop coughing.

Immediacy
Foregoes all intimacy
Of heartfelt insight.

Socrates played dumb
And asked endless questions, till
Forced to drink hemlock.
