Serenity
by David Geller
Enthusiastic? Yes, I'd qualify.
I can get more than used to having things around:
Can, for a good while, praise them to the sky
Or drive them into the ground.
Serene? I think not. No establishing
That quite unprovable saint's or madman's state of mind
Achieved by tolerating everything
Or leaving it all behind.
