Grok

For my dear friend, Laurie Michaels, she who groks. My beloved says this is one of the only good things about Robert Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land... the term "grok." Thank you, Laurie.

At every point in life

It is vital

To find those

Who have experienced

Something similar.

At every point

In life

We must sit

With a warm cup of something,

Share the similar thing

And say

That thing is not the sum total

Of our being.

There is always more

To be claimed.
