Where We’re Really At

Big day out you’d say, tho’ not in material terms 

of bricks achieved, yet they were significant; no, 

success was a blessing in knowing better where 

we’re really at - & now our plans can coalesce in 

th’ stream of veridical reasoning we’d feared too 

far away t’ access without sacrificial obligations; 

but we walked away, all limbs intact - well so far 

anyway, and the immediate future breathes easy 

We will still have t’ live with changes beyond our 

capacity to amend, but then, look at our ages; if 

we were late-middle-aged it’d be something we 

could see as distraction to keep us on our toes - 

but that was thirty years ago, so the realism has 

proposed we accept its regimen to be freed of 

Irrational ideas we’re playing a different game…
