Epigram For Elias, Eschewing Him
Your older girl friend gives you certain status.
You strut beside her, in school, and smirk at us.
But you should brace for one, near future, fact
(I try to state it with the utmost tact):
one will move on, one will be left behind.
When fruit is peeled away, the tossed off rind
rots. And the old saw still has classic sound:
what goes to strut, will come to crawl, around.
