Smart's a funny word. Smart about getting along with poeople, smart with tools but can't spell, I don't have any problem with that.
And who stubbed their toe and first said "Ouch, that smarts"?
The Dalai Lama may be a happy genius, but he's the exception.
Your poem, while I like it all, my favorite line is
"We don't have to be enough
alike to disagree."
It's interesting enough that I had to keep turning it over in my mind. It goes to the heart of a specific kind of relation, one that I love for it's challenges in some areas and total lack of them in others.
As usual, so glad you posted.
