Opinions


Having an opinion about everything
May be a sign of loneliness
Like playing cards with yourself
Everything finished, nothing waiting
For input from another hand.

Having an opinion about everything
Makes it harder
To find a match
Since meeting point for point
At every tooth of thought
Would be required to turn the key
To lift the latch.

Alas for you, then, who collect
Large bellies of opinion
That block your movement
And mistake correctness for dominion

Here is your hope:
Opinions can be left behind
You can abandon them for love
And thereby liberate your mind.
