should wisdom arrive, i'll be there

these days
i am wondering
about the wisdom of anything.
i just don't see it.
anomie, buddhism, carrots.
not there.
dementia, effluent, foreplay,
nope.
garage sales, harmonicas, inertia,
no.
juggling, kowtowing, lace,
huh?
marsupials, nihilism, orgasm,
nyet.
placidity, quarks, ramadan,
niente.
sloth, tea, usury,
not yet.
verisimilitude, wingnuts, x chromosomes,
nada.
yoni, zorro.
not even close.
i'll wait.
