I came to the same fork as Frost
but took the worn path and never
looked back or wondered what if.
It made all the difference after all.

We're born into a tiny slice of history.
    Dropped into roles in small orbits around
    each other and we're caught and spin in
    our gravity falling in and out of Love.

Where do you come from?
  A billion brain cells click
  and turn and you laugh or
  cry. You never forget. It
  simmers for years until one
  night in your cups it moves
  your fingers on keys and
  you give birth to a Poem.

If I could die for you I would.
I see you withered from cancer.
You're young with youngsters
and I'd be you in a firing squad.
I'm spent and ready for blindfolds
and a shot in the heart. I wish.

Maybe I'm just a little tired.
A nap might help.
My life seems like it's over.
I don't want to fly kites or blow bubbles
like the kid I was a century ago.
All that's left is the coroner's signature.
You kids carry on and do us prouder
than we did for the greatest generation.
My generation, baby boomers, was a disgrace in my opinion. We left the world worse than we'd inherited.

I was lost inside myself. I was at
  a casual party, loud music and beer
  and some tiny madness tugging at my
  mind all day. My life was broken on
  rocky shores where lives perish.
  I walked naked from the bathroom.
  They were overdressed while I was
  the only one to come as you are.
  Only that not understood
  is truly irresistible.
