The tragedy of youth
is its intolerable impatience
   What’s the value of practice?
   Why are there all these rules?
   Just let me do what I please!
A stream loses the mountain
for longing to be a sea

  1. Let me do what I please…

  2. I must have had a patently misspent youth – can’t recall ever being unemployed from age 13 till retirement – age 10 if I count 3 years of paper routes
