looking back
looking back
I see how immature we were
we had that in common
the surprise divorce
after 19 years
knocked some of that
out of me
but
I’ll always be a fool
and one of my useful defenses
is that I’ve never accepted
what the adults
handed us
as
true
and
I’ve
always
searched for
something better
something I found
by luck as much
as anything
else
by
luck
and by love
