Life Turned Out…

 Where would it take me

All this duplicity

Unable, or so it seems

To see into my own self


When I was a young boy

The trials and tricks of time

Were of a day to day nature

No longer projections needed


When I was a young man

The hopes and expectations

Offered themselves up

In a startling array


Where would it take me

All this opportunity

More than able, so it seems

To continue to discover me


When I was approaching

Middle age

The doubts and delusions

Called by more often


I followed the mid-life crisis

Which to this day

Still resonates at an altogether

Higher frequency


When I reached retirement

All I had was writing

Quite a turnaround

For the grammar school failure


Where will it take me

All this perspicacity

Once more occasionally unstable

I wobble on the balance of life
