Equality

To the young and the sound
The short end of the stick

Can never be found;

But the old and the sick
Find equally short
Both ends of the stick.

Falls of man

1.

It wasn’t my goal

To fall in a hole;
It got past my eye,
Too fixed on the sky.

2.

Watching the blind man
Instead of the street,
I stumbled and fell—
He stayed on his feet.
