POEM: Holed for Life

A Taoist riff on a John F. Kennedy quote…

Holed for Life

“Clay is shaped into a vessel; it is the hollow within that makes the vessel useful…So what is there gives advantage, but what is not there gives use.” –Tao, Chapter 11

Ax not
What life holds
Fore you
What rather due
You hold for life
