October 27, 2007 (I was 62)
Other peoples’ children praise the Lord
with no sense of his humility
pass judgment knowing they are judged favorably
Other people’s children have body piercings
They wear hindrances through every sensory organ
and cut-away clothes to expose their tats
Other people’s children withhold their opinions
Their restrained considerations
Produce an impeccable silence
Other people’s children know the value of art
is determined in the auction house
The true critic is counted currency
Other people’s children realize introspection
creates the illusionary devil of self-doubt
and can lead to self-denial
No child of mine was ever like this
because other people are the parents
of other people’s children
