Who Can Love And Who Is Loved? Poem by RIC BASTASA

creation is relative
same with our our
idiosyncrasies

and idiocies

sometime you get uneasy
and even impatient with the
dumbness

or the hardheadedness of the
other and you want to show
the real thing
inside you

if you care to listen
the other has the same feeling for you

same impatience
same rebellion

but what holds you both into taking
the calmness of silence and acceptance is that idea

one cannot exist without the other
and without the other

who can love and who is loved?
