Let’s be accountable

from this week in 2016   (I was 71)

Let’s be accountable

Let’s be responsible

Let’s admit all the shit

we allowed to happen

cause we’d be dead if we didn’t

Scary surprise to surmise

how many were willing to spend our lives

if we let them do it so we didn’t

I’m accountable for more didn’ts than dids

My irresponsibility put me first

Though it may be fitting at our ages

to be admitting those back pages

There can be no changes in our past iron ranges

pasts with someone else’s future
