A Better Kind of Wit

By Teak Kilmer

In our delight at meeting mirror of one another

exchanged we wits and whimsies, those

entertainments that matter to the matters grey

but paused and by consideration flung aside our

disregards, careless familiarities and contempts

to find instead within our hearts…contents

and merrily went round about our fertile blessing

of the mind; yet fed as much with kindness in its kind.
