I made a life of perfecting agreeable,

learning very late in the game

the power of NO

 

and everything changed

 

no longer a forced shape,

I unfolded into the puzzle piece

that became the real me

now I’ve gone back

to relive childhood

under lots of wrinkles

and the groan of joints

 

with baggy eyes

sometimes bubbling with life

 

and smiles hiding

a mouth of mischief
