How Often

How often
do we fail
to see
realities
in our lives
that any
dispassionate
observer
could identify
with only
a fraction
of the evidence
that we
ourselves
possess?

If this
self-imposed
ignorance
were beneficial,
I would not
condemn it,
but all
we seem
to gain
from avoiding
certain realities
is a surplus
of lost time.

Hi, my name is Jacob Anton (ANN-tin) Davis. I am a husband, father, attorney, and writer. I have written poetry and fiction as a hobby for the past 20 years, but I launched J. Anton Poetry in 2019 to share my writing publicly. The poems of mine on this site largely describe my thoughts about the deeper connections and meaning in our everyday lives.
