This was a bad idea
Left unchecked
It checked no boxes
Age, height, recreation
Don't shit and eat in the same location
But humor and heart
Played a part in avoiding
Yet another void and more poor ploys
Prior, I'd pursue
Insecure cities to raid
With no security guards
At their gates
At least
My priorities were improving
I'm proving a point:
This was when I went
From reading burdens as intriguing
Leaving ration under passion's blanket
Imbibing fatal flaws as quirks
"Stable" stopped being labeled "bland"
We hosted dinners
Endured the winter
Even when we splintered
I had gone from
A howling wolf to an astute owl
Girls had become women
And the universe was not a test
Or an abstruse cord to be untangled
Close my war chest of white horses
And I wish you all the best
Nice
