Sonnet 12 What Can'T Be Fixed Now

They call me ‘Cap’, (Captain) America! But are my Values REALLY out of date? Prefer Red Meat to esoterica… At end of every meal, I clean my plate… I would have – given time – tried to explain To Tony Stark, the depth of what I knew, But he responded, giving pain for pain, Barehand, I beat the Ir’n Man black-and-blue! It broke me! Had to trade a friend for friend! I would have – given time – tried to unfold A hist’ry of deception, tried to mend... But, friendships SHATTER! left out in the cold! Could I have showed that LIES had kept me sane? NO! – giv’n a chance – I'd crash another plane!
