REGRETS, FORGETS AND MINISCULE EXPECTATIONS

 

ENTRENCHED VERSES VERSUS FLEETING GESTURES

restlessness of unsaturated love

a phrase

meaningless 

except to a twenty year old

concocted 

in 1963

carried to now

to sell

self

and other

unquotable thoughts

and

emotions

for acceptance

of intellect

and achievements

unfamiliar

not at all attractive

as sign of ability

not worthy of surpise

some resentment value

discardable 

overused instinctual 

faded glamour

an expression 

on a third century statue

from a long deserted

necropolis

So shall one become

at a later age

not statuesque 

no smile

 a grimace

as evidence

of 

 later ages

when possible
