Time Dependent

The joy of not knowing
leaves me exultantly typing
x's and y's everywhere

And then the bill comes
finding the roof still leaking
and the cat looking up
beside an empty dish

How crazy and careless
when I was younger
to think that I would know
at some later time

not knowing
is a wonderful time
"crazy and careless" gets it just right
i too resent the intrusion
of the mundane
this is a very poignant piece
thank you

Mundane is arsenic to the creative mind. Do you keep typing and starve the cat? I don't know. I've becomed convinced I never will!! Loved it!!
