and the wisdom to know

I believe in your mind,
the force of your personality
and the excellence and resiliency
of your character. You have it

Well within you to spot, catch
and master every degree of this
shit that is in your control,

and wisdom

to weather of degree of it that isn't.
But not necessarily the wisdom
to know the difference.

That part's fantasy. 
Nobody actually has
the wisdom to know the difference.

And anyway, it's to our benefit
we don't. Because sometimes
the difference winks.
