here’s an old poem i wrote about 4 years ago.
it goes a little something like this – a one two one two three four!:
.: What i By Learning Forgot :.
one day i thought
stupidity knows, all those things i forgot
by learning so much,
about this & that & dot dot dot
running thru the grass, i would never’ve known that’d be the innocence i’ lost,
listening to the adults, i knew i could not make that kind of talk,
i dreamed of being a big kid, but the grown ups, there was something some of them ‘d lost;
but when i woke up one day, late for work, i stood between two worlds, the losing, & the lost:
a kid came up to me, & drew me a picture my memory pinned up, but my organization since lost,
& i leaned more toward the little guy, as up walked my boss,
& i looked at my picture, while Gary explained how It’s Everyone That Tardiness Costs,
the kid was all smiles, & Gary looked cross, & i knew who to choose, i knew who, between the losing & the lost,,
so, i quit my job,
Gary would say i got fired, but either way it was cost,
but i found what that kid gave me:
a piece of my innocence – he smiled so much – he had playfulness, spark, innocence, & love – i hope i never ever lose something so important again, only little things, like jobs.
