1595 - Two Handles

 


Two Handles

There are two handles.
We can choose which one we grasp.
One rough and one smooth.
Some people choose rough.
They are itching for a fight:
Fractious and feisty.
The wise will choose smooth.
Life's a battle already,
Why make it harder?

1594 - Together

 


A log-fire burning.
Two people are sitting there.
Reading, side by side.
