In Responding To A Critic... Poem by RIC BASTASA

In Responding To A Critic...



you have not learned much.
someone attacked you in facebook
and you attack her in return.
a tooth for a tooth, have i not
told you the gold that lies in
silence? that stupefying look
of a god who does not get disturbed
by the spitting lowly mortal,
the sky that is not perturbed by
the sound of the raging river?
do not dignify the critic with
your answer, it will simply be
putting gasoline to the fire.
