born
with debt, testimonial baptism, confession for debris.
running
playgrounds, repeating adults, those things we’d learn.
groveling
for mercy, something knew better, look at what we’ve accumulated:
naïve
eyes, fire’s wisdom, deep understanding.
midlife
crisis. midlife pangs. midlife joys, devoid of happiness.
to
meet a person—requires to feel a person—it must relax interpretation.
suspended
for fighting. nervous over consequences. family is too busy.
aging.
learning. something inside is calling. some nature in itself—as dishonest—it guides,
it expels, it needs communication—if only to survive.
some
belief. some dictum. some vest.
older
in knowledge, a world unsafe, a person only has prudence; to chime in winds, to
swim aside dragonflies, to palm a ladybug.
