Dan Williams

To Pamela

Because whatever else, there’s this…

I am not the one to solve all problems,

I’ll leave that to another with more sense.

I cannot see the answer to the questions life proposes,

I have not the skill to repair that fence.

You are not the sole proprietor of my problems

or the un-named inheritor in my will;

all the same you know the secrets of my insolence

and will likely continue long after I am still.
