Bones and Pages

I stand here Looking down At the bones of my life Pages turned Pages yet to be turned I thought by now I’d be quite dead Never thought I’d make it past thirty Still . . . There are pages yet to be turned Dreams yet to be thought About who I could have been About who I am I have tattoos Would the other me Have done so I’ve walked on the wild side Wallowed in danger's bed Grinning all the while These are the pages of UNSUPPORTED CODE moi UNSUPPORTED CODE If I could live my life over Would I chase the same Nightmares

I REALLY like this , Jerry. So you had a wild side, huh? I love the pages already turned and pages YET to be turned. Gosh, I sure hope you have a lot more life left in you than just getting past 30!! By the way, go to your poem and look at the last few lines, where you tried to set apart the word MOI. It appears as this: These are the pages of UNSUPPORTED CODE moi UNSUPPORTED CODE. That made me chuckle, though I know it was unintentional!!
