Cyclical Molting

In this the third
Week of April
I loofahed from top to my toe

Every inch of
my scaly magnificence
bidding the lost parts go

Always loving a monday,
   A first,ground zero
A change

Whether August or May
Or dawn of new day
I eagerly sought to know

To be at the pop
that starts a new race
On clean untrod virgin snow

What I sorely
lacked
Was conviction

In the self care
I hoped
To attain

To fall,then to rise
going wiser along
Without starting over again

Using what's gleaned
To propel me
To envision the pot holes and snares

Knowing that life
It is,what it is
Never advertised freely from cares
