you have a point there

it's better
to stay quiet about yourself
when in
mixed
company,
and not
make a fuss
of life.
steer the conversation
as far away
from health
and money, politics
and religion
as you can.
go numb
in your meditative pose,
run silent, run deep.
smile
and nod, just
benignly agree
to disagree.
