Revised Poem UP AND DOWN THE HILL VERSION 2

 


the 15-year-old boy with heightened emotions 

now the 65-year-old man calmly seeing an oncologist 

so much done so much tried so much curtailed 

taking medication getting sleepy hoping for more days

>

at 15, taught to fear, warned to avoid, 

harangued to PAY ATTENTION

in spite of ths I had some good times over the decades

dared to think for myself

was blessed/burned by consequences 

at 65, hoping for added years 

before affairs must become ordered
