Palimpsest

Jack-Of-All-Trades

I’ve explored the surface of many things,

Touched upon their prominent peaks

But failed to dig deeply into any of them.

I’ve danced like a skipping stone

On the surface of a vast ocean

Of knowledge,

The proverbial jack-of-all-trades,

But settled on none.

It’s a weakness that leads 

To charges of superficiality

And occasional plagiarism.

But it has served me, 

If not well,

Than adequately.
