Born old

so age is
finally catching up,

building weariness
each day
that I learn more

about the creative consequence

of sitting
on a loaded gun.

The consequence of stillness.

The consequence of wasted purpose.

The consequence of
owing your soul
and not owning up
to the personal obligation

to do great things

with tremendously
kinetic momentum.
