with disinterested curiosity,
Poets distancing themselves—
from personal emotions,
from ‘personality’ (in Eliot’s idiolect),
A sportsperson focusing on the event—
not obsessed with results,
demonstrating sporting spirit,
Anyone doing their karma—
regardless of results,
as characterized in Indian scriptures,

School had let out for Christmas vacation on the 23rd
And now    on Christmas Eve    Sam had found it -

This morning I went for a country stroll
Saw greenery of summer at its best
But off road walking had taken its toll

your tomato juices soon to please.

A little spark of yellow with the cheese.
