Mentor

[-J-]

(Tune in my head: John Adams - China Gates)

Many times have I been wrong

and stuck my foot inside my piehole --

but patient have you been so long

I cannot fathom you an Arsehole.

Explorer -- crafter -- architect

in worlds where I am circumspect

and gifted with the best of humor --

hence I regard you as a mentor.

Where I see a chaotic storm

you see the world with such a shrewd eye

including this sonnet in which I

imperfectly matched Pushkin's form.

Formidable is your wit -- and yet

the kindest cad I ever have met.

[Kyrios]
