Reduction
In the last several years
I’ve simmered down. The flavors
of experience concentrated
and the volatile elements
mostly boiled away. I make
a conscious effort to turn down
the flames of media input, lest
I become just another old man
who’s always burned up about
one thing or another, his blackened
opinions stuck to his brain pan,
getting smoke in everyone’s eyes.
