Youth

I knew not where my riper be,
for green was yet my high:
obsessed with all reflection within~
the backside of my eye; such
self-centered youth, though often
berated...while its lose I secretly
sigh

God often losing a young man's ear
near the upper part of his thigh

That last line is a real lu-lu there, Joe. Though it resonates 'way back in the day.' ~ Ears attached to Head now, gw

Thank you, Gershon; just said a prayer for the protection of your wife's loved ones in Ukraine. Blessings!
