No Disappointments

I rarely write of other people --
preferring the less dangerous,
more exalted territory
of things --

Like veins through a leaf,
mountains in a mood,
my square dance with time --

Their motives I don't need to
suspect;
their behavior I can parse
without hurt --

And their witness
I more than understand.
