Meandering through a half-filled notebook,
I find, among the many thoughts,
one, which, at the time of writing,
seemed like a good idea at the time.
People aren’t lentils. Insight? Wisdom?
Poetic foolishness? All three or none?
For a moment, I wonder what it was which
inspired me to write this stupid thought.
And then I remember, but before
I start to fashion my explanation
in verse form for this astonishing truth,
I decide to leave the poor phrase alone.
