Woke at 27!
But I couldn’t fall
But I couldn’t fall
in love because I had to hang
on
to my brittle
moral integrity and all.
to my brittle
moral integrity and all.
So I became a responsible
person, asleep at 37,
too dumb not to fail
person, asleep at 37,
too dumb not to fail
the opportunity to play with
the big boys—
a whole heaven
to be gained if I awakened to the comedy of it all.
a whole heaven
to be gained if I awakened to the comedy of it all.

I fell
still curious at 67—

for your sexy spiritual
qualities,
my dear, edging 87,
gradually accommodating myself to the comedy of it all.
Can't wait to fall!
my dear, edging 87,
gradually accommodating myself to the comedy of it all.
Can't wait to fall!
