Perhaps I,
being myself and certainly not anyone else,
maybe, just maybe, said too much.
Could it be that I, being myself and most definitely not
anyone else, could have felt just the slightest bit
too much?
Who would have thought it?

After all these years I am not what I was.
You know that… right?
In fact, it has been said,
that I’m not what I am.
What a strange notion that brings to mind.
Things are a lot different now in my younger days
then they were when I was old.

Perhaps the world has changed.
Perhaps I have changed,
or rather just re-arranged.

But I digress. I’m straying from the point,
if ever there was a point. You see
when you get back to my age things aren’t as
blurry. My memory is as sharp as a tack.
Things just start to look a little strange,
my reflection scares me now.
I be damned if I go into a house of mirrors.

Which reminds me of a story….

I was going to work one day when out of no where
came this man in a white coat.
He said I had to talk to him.

So I fixed a bowl of grits and ate my breakfast,
then kissed my wife goodnight
and went to bed for the evening.

Now back to those damn mirrors.
They scare the hell out of me.

But as I was saying before…

Perhaps I,
being myself and certainly not anyone else,
maybe, just maybe, said too much.
Could it be that I, being myself and most definitely not
anyone else, could have felt just the slightest bit
too much?
Who would have thought it?

Boy! Don't you feel like you've wasted your time now. Sorry this isn't really a poem, just more of a time waster. I thought it was some what funny though.

There is something inside me
and I know it's good,
but understanding is misunderstood.

Effigy--I think you underestimate yourself---this was different---although I found it more thoughtful than amusing...a sketch in words --I liked.
