The Purgatory of Minor Geniuses

Come on, get over it.
You were a lousy lover,
that's why the muse left you.

What do you think?
It was about making a masterpiece?
It was not. It was about finding yourself
in the stroke of a pen, in the stroke of a clock.

Like Brother Richard used to say:
it's never too late to get it together ---
Maybe.

However, most boys get smart too late
some even die old fools. It's too sad,
that when hormones are raging,
you will, inescapably, live your mistakes.

Smart as a whip
has a price tag,
the kick of a mule.
