Two Lenses Unchanged
Two Lenses - Unchanged
When I was young and foolish
I’d do things not quite schoolish.
My naked feet danced barefoot in the rain
splashing in water running toward the drains
until grams admonished me on my childish ways.
Today, I am always wearing socks and shoes
careful outside where my feet may get bruised,
but in the warm spring storms and rainy days
I stand at the door and watch the children play
whose simplistic innocence restores my youth.
