those who
sleep soundly through
the night.
those unbothered by the new.
those who smile too much,
shake hands too long,
or want to hug you
with each meeting.
beware of those who want
you to know about their
church attendance, about
their donations, about the orphans,
their education,
the marches they attend.
they books they have read, and
that you should read too.
they will tell you they have voted.
they have all recycled their
bottles and cans.
they bleed in public, they smile
at children, they stop to pet dogs.
beware of goodness of
those who weed all day long.
they are never angry, never blue,
good neighbors, good citizens
of the world. beware of them.
they are deeply sad and lonely,
and are unloved. there is
something within them that is
terribly wrong.
