TURNING AN OLD PAGE

 

Turning an Old Leaf


the new newspaper I receive daily

these days

has a ninth and tenth page

unlike others

that you wish to separate

by thumb and nail.

to discover 

all the hidden news

and funnies

and ancient

and modern

wisdom


but the thick

thicker than others page

is just one page

and has no portal

or passageway

to other realms

so far


yet 

i am hopefull

that one tiresome day

will be the day

that reveals a new page

once secreted away

and

i will start reading

all the stuff

which were denied 

without commitment

or sin

or 

even wonder 

as discoveries may not always bring
