Notes About The Poem

Brian Johnston
OU Undergraduate (about 1963)   

 

Potentials

How clearly you appear sometimes -
Short, tall, fat, and thin, 
Depending on my glimpse of you
And conditions then.

I have no fairer friend than you -
True, false, right and wrong, 
Cajoling sense capriciously, 
Fading - to grow strong.
