Honesty
Truth
Integrity
Discipline

I touched
In a mind
Failing understanding
On a push bike

On a hairdresser's day
They failed to allow for
The slower growing
Of men

On something that meant
I failed
And failed
And failed

Now I
Can sit here
In my
Pomposity

And remember
Enough

To understand

Yen

Is stillness
In motion

Thanks first and foremost for your words

In stillness and in motion is something I do believe in

How else at 57 in IT do I manage to find work

I did study something amongst other things flitting unknowing

I think it was called life
