are our own hurts
coming back to us
from those we've hurt
to those from whom we've received harm
(all the same and coming on cue
though it be woe onto them)
mockery is out!!!
we've done our time as snickering jackass hipsters
(hipsters! the fake bohemians! the pretenders mooching off
the patron's table while the genuine artist suffers
all kinds of madness and grief and who is mocked
by every ignoramus including (most especially the-- YES!--
hipster!) time for something new in our lives--
wisdom--gentleness--tolerance--
we all stumble down the same pass
so it's not wise to judge
unless you love the hatreds you endure--in which case--
by your own call--you're on your own
