En Passant

       

 

       

La La

(a song)

 

I knew her just a little while
A rural twist, an urban smile
And grass was green and green was gold
I was brash but she was bold
Now when I think of then I try
To block the thinking from my eye

Life’s way too short to waste on when.
What should have never could have been.
Sundry lovers come and go
The more I learn, the less I know
An aging man’s mind’s eye deceives
Wiping memories wrinkles sleeves

 

A little while will vamoose
What works for ones won’t work for twos
The vivid little whiles fade.
So long.  So short.  Sorely  misplayed.
A continental drift.   A note.
A year.   A life.   A wild oat.
