You might be a doctor or a lawyer or a Jew
Truly, if you're one of those, then chances are you’re two
You might be a millionaire, a bright entrepreneur
You might have a PhD or even three or four
You might work in Africa and keep the kids alive
You might write great plays and poems and started at age five

But-

If there’s no philosopher inside that brain of yours
Despite your riches and degrees, in my eyes, you’re poor.

​Written in honor of my husband, who had the main trait I was looking for in a spouse: intense philosophical inquiry as a primary value and occupation.
