What is maturity
without the ability
to keep secrets?
Why tell a secret
if it increases the probability
That trust will be broken
That old wounds will be opened



What is life
without time
To tailor one’s lifestyle
to one’s tastes?
Why the haste
Why the race
As if this life is a competition
As if being busy is what brings recognition



What is a lifetime
Without past time
It’s like a game without halftime
It’s like a day without sunshine
What is a legacy
Without integrity
It’s like having a wife
And not having intimacy
Unable to connect conversationally
