What is amazing to me
Is that a capable, smart, talented, resourceful, intelligent
Woman can roll such a non-functional reefer.

What is amazing to me is the circus of paradox
And how our strengths are our very weaknesses
And that what is right is exactly what is wrong.

What amazes me is that the smartest can be the blindest
The sweetest can be the most bitter
And the obvious the most obscure.
