What Now Knows
Age – and time –
have overcome
my youthful indiscretions
probably….
because ….age and time ….
withered my
indiscriminate behavior
age….allowing knowledge
time….allowing reflection
filtering the rage…of youth
through the scarring….of time
reflecting….
“If I knew then…..what I know now”
snarling
“you know now…. what you know now”
“what is different??”
