Retracing my steps …
picking up the pieces
of a misguided past
Cleaning up the memories
that so litter my
attention
Given one more chance
to change
the things I never intended
Given one last chance
to right the wrongs
—of my prodigal ways

The Price Of Admission
(if it’s)
Love me …
hate my writing
(or)
Hate me …
love my writing
I can live with the hate
