Purpose

After the conference I asked him

how he found himself in that role.  

It's not my job to do this, he said.

I just do it, like I breathe

like my heart beats.

it's got nothing to do with me.

but when it comes out

I think it wasteful and stupid

not to do something with it.

Put it this way.

If you have a garden

and in it wild strawberries grow.

You'd be daft not to eat them

just because you didn't grow them.

and you'd be a bit mean not to share them

as there's more growing than you can eat by yourself.

I hadn't a clue what he meant

but nonetheless it sort of seemed to make sense.
