Wrong, Crazy, and Wise

It’s hard to know who’s crazy here — the subject, the poet, or the reader. Likely all three; because we all hunger for beauty, and are able to find it in unique places, and experience it and share it in unique ways. Whether this is also a definition of wisdom, is for each of us to decide. We’ll be wrong either way. That, too, is our gift. In my own opinion, we are wrong, crazy, and wise about everything. That’s what’s so right about us. Or, if you prefer, we could wait a few thousand years, if you honestly think we have them, and talk about it then.
