So prudence counsels us to hold it all
As we might hold a vulnerable child,
Not slighting what is rank or breeds distaste.
Yes, we would wipe the waste from helpless rumps,
And consummate our intimate transfers.
So where lies prudence in this confused maze?
Is it the foot that hesitates each step?
Is it the mind that knows not how to act?
Or is it letting go and rushing on?
Conceded there are times to risk and rush.
But prudence is the lesser move, the brake.
It is: Let’s live to fight another day.
