YOUNG AND HAVE TIME

Young and have time

which can be a lie

at 26,

year younger than

Hendrix, Joplin

and Morrison

at their deaths

year older than

Keats at his death

Time is a trip

if you waste it

you lose it

It really is

as simple as that

It’s just a fucking shame

that a guy like me

never understands it 

until it’s too late

by the time

I get it

I’ll, no doubt, be

dead and buried

a corpse rotting away

like the once highly

heralded, alleged potential

 

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

early 92 or so it seems
