Qualities of Lives
Compared to the corporate wasps
In their buzzy business nests,
Busyness, stress, success
in Wall Street hives of
Unceasing reach for greater
Ascendancy, salaries, pleasures,
Reputations, securities, security,
Life-style wives, homes
And so on and so forth, those
Going-forth young men
Of focused distractions…
Compared to them
Are the bums in the sun
(The ones not too drunk, I mean)
Who lean on walls in meaner streets,
Who grin, dream, handle pans
And hats all day–are they--
(Despite financial and familial
Failure, premature old age, and
That street-wise, wizened demeanor
Judged tragic, a hellish waste)—
Are they actually wise for greater
Presence to themselves?
