To Be Poem by Michael Pruchnicki

To Be



The greatest knew it
all the time

we lesser beings
shuffle and jive
hoping to cloud
the issue
and get by

like card sharps
we rely on wit
and fast talk

then sometimes
a line or a scene
from one of those
great ones
comes to mind
and a light shines
on our tawdry nature
revealing our hearts
