In the city,
Tiredness = Tolerance

 

A traveler from another universe, who enjoyed an unscheduled stop here after his bus broke down, mused as he was leaving, “The reason that men didn't seem to notice that most of their holidays were because they were to celebrate the DEATH of someone.”

While in a coma – EVERY one’s considerate.

Alternate second verse:
What normally passes for the “wisdom of age” in the city
is in fact the equation, “Tiredness = Tolerance” in action.

In city, secondary affairs, is all ordinary knowledge limited to remembered experience?
Is the difference between regular citizens and the revolutionist that the latter’s thinking is NOT so confined?

During his winter break from his everyday duties,
one of the ole park philosophers took his own son aside
and gave him this piece of personal, private wisdom,
"A man who will talk a. lot – will talk a lot."
And the lad replied, "But I met a man who doesn't."
And his father shouted - "Don't you go NEAR that man!"

Did you, figuratively speaking, ever ponder this:
City gods NEVER smile,
while those out in the bushes are a RIOT.
