When one is experienced (homage)

 

When one is experienced (homage)

When one is experienced

One is often at the point of quitting

These days          it seems

 

I had the privilege of incredible speakers & readers & writers around me

I breezed through University

Never giving thought a second wind

 

Faster than a tea drinking Professor

I sped like a bullet out the gate

Now it’s late

 

Just one more line

It’s obviously Cummings’ inspired

Now I’m self conscious   once someone spots a similarity to a relative

 

Time is

Of the essence

& hope                 in the heart

 

The thing that breaks

Less often than a line                     of poetry

More often than the once line lie of people’s doings         and Importance.
