Poem: Changes 17/Following



1.
Thunder in the middle of the lake!
And You and I
In the pram

(Or is it a dinghy, a dory
An umiak, or skiff,
A scow, a punt, or shallop?)

2.
Following might mean
You're an individual contributor
Playing follow the leader

Or just maybe
You're holding back
To allow the leader

To receive
The first arrows
And fusillades.

3.
Following can go either way--
It all depends on whom
You elect to follow.

To go out of the door
In the company of others
Produces deeds.
