Someday I Shall Understand..... Poem by RIC BASTASA

someday i shall understand

why old people wake up at 3 a.m.
and do nothing but wait

why someone travels in a very far place
and arriving there decides not to remember

why a glass of water is put on a table
in the middle of a garden not drinking it

someday i shall understand why thinking
must stop

why the faces of children do not make me
write anymore

on that day i do not bother about myself
about you....
