Nothing Gained
by Donald G. Redman
My resistance to you
is time wasted.
I sometimes struggle
to realize the obvious.
Tethered to the reality of the
photograph before me,
I let it happen.
Nothing Gained is a poem repurposed from a newspaper article of the same title, written by Sarah Bonnette. The article originally appeared September 21, 2016 in the Slidell-Picayune.
