Betwixt and Between
by Michael Espinoza
Though gifted with the skills of higher thought,
Suggesting intellectual career,
Professor, doctor, scientist are not
The kinds of occupations I would cheer.
I'm also good performing with my voice,
In acting and in singing---still, to be
A superstar is far from my first choice;
It isn't either job that's right for me.
Far better to combine the strengths of each:
Attracting folk with beauty, that I might
Put logical advice within their reach,
And thereby guide my audience aright.
But an endangered species is the task;
The how and why are questions that I ask.
