Very nice!

It reminded me in passing of two lines: Bob Dylan's "strong men belittled by doubt," and Lao Tzu's "ABandon your acquired learning and do not regret the loss."

Cheers,
John

Yes, that's a good poem. It doesn't strain my synapses overmuch. Congratulations.
Signature info:
If you don't like the black theme, it is easy to switch to a lighter color. Just ask me how.
If I don't critique your poem, it is probably because I don't understand it.

Thanks Caleb. I'm trying out a range of styles in submissions because editors, like all readers, have a range of preferences.
