The Successful Economist

                      Intermittent incidents flash across my screen
                      Faces, places, of where and what I have been.
                                
                                Did I really do all those things
                               A far false memory that springs
                                   From chasms in my brain
                                    Hazy lazy clouds of pain
                            Anguish of a distant happy now gone
                            A faded contest of life I have not won 
                               
                                Who ran with me are no more
                                 A fleeting step of lost encore
                               And yet I go on with triumph past
                                    To walk one more path
                                           It is the last.
