I have given up being disappointed
in disappointment
recognizing how egotistical
it is to think I can know beyond
the present moment or extract from
a selective remembered past
a future not yet here.
And I am not certain what I see
in disappointed is not self-reflection
cast out, onto someone, something
that has nothing to do with anything.
Of course, I may easily slip.
I was going to say it's only human
but there are stories from the divine
showing equally the belief in disappointment
end in regrettable consequences.
So I stop before I say,
"I'm disappointed" -- my humanity,
my divinity unable to know
what is just on the other side of now.
-Byron Hoot
