And these days, how are they coming down now?
Still the restless dissatisfaction
that I’ve accomplished nothing materially
lingers and yawns when I falter
from this path of timeless hedonism
( read ) resolute spiritualism.

Age walking hard on my face
and physical capabilities
reduces the raging youth released syndrome
to caricature against its light
of naked self-perceptions
and diminishing futures.
