Some might say I\u2019m a polymath,
Some, a dilettante,
I think I\u2019m both, and you are not?
The both you do not want?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But why the one and not the other?
Do easy you fall prey
To how others wish to label you
Or think you then, to be?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A narrow line you really walk,
Not fat nor adventurous
But pulling in and shutting down
With absence of all lust<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And glee, and general insanity
Plus the joy of letting go?
But hurt resides in limiting
The feelings that you show<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or feel, or how you think of self,
And also what you say
Or do or play, dance, draw or act,
And what you might display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let go say I, you\u2019ll manage well
Inevitable anxiety;
That never killed a fly it\u2019s said \u2013
The killer\u2019s piety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ann Grogan is a new poet, pianophile, attorney, and octogenarian residing in San Francisco, California. She promotes the unequivocal permission to pursue one\u2019s passions at any age. Since most stress in life is caused by taking oneself too seriously, she likes to reflect humorously on her struggles after retirement in 2020 to re-learn to play the piano and write about her long-standing feminist-humanist values.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
