the whole cake mistake

each year that goes by, I look
back and think,
good lord I was a knucklehead
last year,
and the year before that.

I can imagine being ninety
and looking back at eighty nine
and thinking, jesus mary and
joseph, what a fool I was
back then.

how silly and immature
I was, the things I did,
the stupid things I said.
it's embarrassing how i behaved.

each year a new lesson.
a whipping of sorts, a humbling
journey, for sure.

and so what was last year's lesson?

don't make one person
your whole cake. that's it.
