No matter unfulfilled dreams never came true,
nevertheless yours truly doth gladly bid adieu,
where repurposed afterlife (mine) atomic brew
reconfigured, reconstituted, and reconsolidated

neither feeling suicidal, but speculating often anew,
especially imbibing onset of early spring afternoon

out lift wafted subconsciously banked boyhood bliss
naively innocent childhood before depression grew
