It took so long
Mastering
What it matters
To exercise a charter
On things that alters;
A differentiation that does caters
For a bourgeoning desires
That vitiates Russian roulette
To a midgetting rumpus.

But
Does it matter
That I wallowed so long
Unliteratured – untutored
Vegetating
As it were
In hemorrhagic youthful libertinage
When my heyday
Verged
On sans and withouts?

Thingify me not!
That I hitherto doddered
In transit to sagehood.
Unconscionable is your opprobrium
Risible is your ratiocination
That faltered I
Laddering to adulthood
