Raspberry Beret.
Twenty-six flights of stairs.
Over and over.
Old proverb tells us:
Youth is wasted on the young.
Thoughtlessly squandered.
How else could it be?
It’s painful, living, loving.
If we knew, would we?
Lovers, parents, pets,
Smooth skin, stamina, joints, minds—
We learn to let go.
Think how tragic death would be,
If we died still holding on.
