Pot
A pot poured out
Fulfills its spout
~Samuel Menashe
A simple poem, that fulfills itself. I like how perfectly the verb "fulfills" fulfills the promise of a generous thought. A promise, a mission, an obligation, a nature. These are the things that it is possible and desirable to fulfill. fulfills the promise of a generous thought, a promise a mission, an obligation, a nature. And so a pot fulfills its spout, but what do we fulfill? This question becomes more pertinent after a long week at work.

our obligations, perhaps?
