Finding a Friend
People's belief systems are so different Actually, when you're in a new section of the third grade looking for a friend, you're really dealing with their parents' belief systems, though you don't know it at the time. My own parents were saying, "Never make friends with Catholics, because they brainwash their children," and, "The Jews are so nouveau riche they spoil their children rotten," and, "Don't ride in the back of the bus The colored people don't like that." How was I supposed to know what all this meant? Brainwashed and spoiled children riding in the back of the bus? Why, that was me!
Many third graders take their parents' belief systems so seriously, you don't know what you're dealing with when you meet them, though you know it's pretty fake. Luckily, we all watched Lassie on TV, so we had something in common. (Except for the kids who weren't even allowed to watch TV!)
Anyway, back to friends. You can't really make one. You have to find one. That means you always have to keep the door to your heart open a little, or one can't creep in.
On Matters Mundane
People with interesting lives
take up sly poetry.
They don't often say,
"I went shopping today
and bought some new shoes."
When you see Sean Connery
or Diana Rigg on TV,
you see they've prepared
what they're going to say,
and they deliver.
First there was the word.
And the word became flesh.
