no regrets.
...and what are the words one uses to describe a compilation?, works from my entire life?, fifty years of carrying around a yellow pad?, fifty years of writing and rewriting, changing the words, as their meanings change for me?

i am slowly melting away,
returning to the shell of my youth,
wishing things were different,
and content that they aren’t.
