What Epictetus Knows
Epictetus says he will know
You are a good man by looking at you.
Maybe.
I know you can always know a crazy man
By looking at him,
By his eyes looking into an inner distance.
But a good man?
I know more about the eyes of a good woman
Wide, and mild, and love softened
Directing a stranger to the right bus.
{Poem by Ed Beller}
