I’m taking a break from my memoir for a while. For the next few weeks, I’ll mostly be reprising the poetry that I’ve written for this blog since I began it over a year ago.

Incompetence

imagination
knowledge
practice and
experience
equal success
so they say

incompetence
negates
practice experience
knowledge and
even imagination
on any given day

seems we are
gobsmacked
birth to death
with incompetence
leaders mediocre
mendicants

inept rebels activists
innovators yes
and me too
inspiring nothing
new just singing
the blues

so much for
knowledge
imagination
practice and
experience when
incompetence rules
