Fell Into Dubious Soup of Life

I fell into dubious soup of life on a summer’s day
Not ill prepared, totally unprepared
Realizing I did not know anything
When prior to, I thought I knew everything
How to fix the world, how to fix my parents.
I struggled to hold my seventeen-year-old head up 
high above the chili beans of knowledge
