A PERFECT PERSON

A golden aura,
lives for others,
an extraordinary mind:
bhodimind.

A triathlete, a mesomorph,
explains Finnegan’s Wake,
Borges, and Umberto Eco
in French, Farsi and Hebrew.

A disciple of Hillel,
the first to read
Escher, Bach and Godel.

More wisdom than
Krishnamurti
and digested knots
from the Upanishads.

More enlightened
than the Dalai Lama,
chakras move on command,
and stands on his head
longer than Swami Jakananda.

A fiery vision to know, erudite,
at home with Stephen Hawking
on the infinite, Thucydides,
history, and Hereclitis,
for being in the now.

His compassion comes from love.
Munificently parts with money
anonymously.

Perfect in every way,
except to reveal
he is a closeted-gay Jew.
