Learning to Be Gentle with Yourself
is like walking the pointer pup I would borrow
when I needed to not be my own master.
His habit of reassembling trees branch by lost branch,

Sniffing out anything that could be surprised.
Chasing whatever he could make move.
While I wanted to drag him the quick route home.
“Gentle,” I would tell him. “Gentle, Gus.”

Don’t spend any money
Don’t ask any favors
Live up to your debts
But there isn’t any math
for human variables
