Kurt Philip Behm Poet Free verse

Sound Bites: May 10, 2024

If true
that old age
is but a bad habit …
 what can youth become

_____

Divorcing passion
from intellect
Two orphans 
created
Homeless together
— inside of one soul

_____

If you want
to be free
First
be a prisoner
A captive
of prescience
An inmate
— of self

-------

Contradiction …
a privilege of freedom

--------

Knowledge is a prison
— and freedom its bars

--------

The pedantic 
philosopher
Indistinguishable
— from the fool

(Dreamsleep: May, 2024)
