Using a pseudonym for first/last time,149Please respect copyright.PENANAKaqhvL4TyK
To protect the guilty and innocent,149Please respect copyright.PENANATagnANEBqA
In this autobiographical work.149Please respect copyright.PENANAQKXOWOZ5Zb
149Please respect copyright.PENANAbFV9U6HRSB
Life got in the way of reliving it,149Please respect copyright.PENANAJpzxRLnztv
Work, wife, parents with health issues, now gone,149Please respect copyright.PENANAWw1e2mCxeA
Back burners full of overflowing pots,149Please respect copyright.PENANAjA2EHR6Yau
The sands of time quickly sifting through my fingers.149Please respect copyright.PENANA9DXtNMMwMv
149Please respect copyright.PENANAwqPlVRjBc2

149Please respect copyright.PENANACr0SAF5agV
My story untold, lessons learned unfurled,149Please respect copyright.PENANAIPfuty1SWj
But not not written down to pass down my truth,149Please respect copyright.PENANAHKdn3VBjWd
About things I know much more than I'd like,149Please respect copyright.PENANAcg6DnS3w7o
And others should learn, in old age and youth.149Please respect copyright.PENANAmoetYmivAt
149Please respect copyright.PENANATVnNJrr5Xt
Place bound for now on an imposed lockdown,149Please respect copyright.PENANAPCtaOO6Kvq
Chained to my desk like galley slaves to oars,149Please respect copyright.PENANAzNwoJLnLZm
Taping lectures, attending Zoom meetings,149Please respect copyright.PENANARjyisJRBnW
Depression abounds, if not joy or sleep.149Please respect copyright.PENANAIGRNiJN3I8
149Please respect copyright.PENANAxQjWdA1IEf
So I'm back again, reliving the past,149Please respect copyright.PENANA5mPlMtk3V2
In memory still green, though browning in parts,149Please respect copyright.PENANAIjN7wCvlhM
Taking poetic license where I must,149Please respect copyright.PENANA0j0qvlMPVE
But gently as a child's butterfly kiss.149Please respect copyright.PENANAswbcihw0jT
149Please respect copyright.PENANAQvscAWP8LS
Nearly nine thousand words today for just,149Please respect copyright.PENANAT8yTt1SEKp
One day's events that sowed a thousand seeds,149Please respect copyright.PENANADsvGM4Ip7B
That sprouted, flourished and died or were pecked,149Please respect copyright.PENANArk2jut2JuA
By hungry vultures out of existence.149Please respect copyright.PENANALgvMLblQ7a
149Please respect copyright.PENANAIGE9Q8WG7U
Remembering a day in my career,149Please respect copyright.PENANA4lXc7iDIgD
When I still viewed the world with bright, clear eyes,149Please respect copyright.PENANAa3pwlSKfUa
And had not opened doors I could not close,149Please respect copyright.PENANAwqcFD9YvzC
Or walked by closed doors I should have opened.149Please respect copyright.PENANAKSOGUzILgi
149Please respect copyright.PENANAufWqj7sd2N
My world and heart were then innocent, pure,149Please respect copyright.PENANAwqbptzHG4z
Full of good intentions waiting to burst,149Please respect copyright.PENANAyA0G2pfZqe
From a chest that could hardly hold them back,149Please respect copyright.PENANAFWIITFxF4L
Foolishly thinking they could change the world.149Please respect copyright.PENANAU7gOD06RbX
149Please respect copyright.PENANAVuIquFLOE7
The painful memories I now drown in,149Please respect copyright.PENANAK4FylBm08P
I will not disclose. The pain I've given,149Please respect copyright.PENANAmRrDtT7Rpm
The pain I've received, I'll whitewash away,149Please respect copyright.PENANArjkhCi0ct0
To protect myself and those I have loved.149Please respect copyright.PENANAV0SW53sHfh
149Please respect copyright.PENANAHelBkE1RoN
I'll limit my journey to work alone,149Please respect copyright.PENANAyxktoqRp3T
Describe what I've learned that others should know,149Please respect copyright.PENANAy05SwdOhT0
Weave the personal with transparent thread,149Please respect copyright.PENANA0AOiVgdaUP
The professional with thickest red yarn.149Please respect copyright.PENANAhJSgDUAtoM
149Please respect copyright.PENANAwFzeXZpUlo
I'll search for an agent when it is done,149Please respect copyright.PENANAYJmkDcfUry
As I'd like it read, unlike indie books,149Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9M0sEkr8l
And I believe it will find a market,149Please respect copyright.PENANAxhlEHkK9Pl
For it will reveal some essential truths.149Please respect copyright.PENANAlTx5xgLsWo
149Please respect copyright.PENANADqy8UmZAHO
It will teach much more that all need to know,149Please respect copyright.PENANAYWZXJdQAYw
Than my life's work: Lectures, books, articles,149Please respect copyright.PENANABSQmz9x05o
Poetry, fiction, blogs, presentations,149Please respect copyright.PENANAgcPCsaYEyj
Hope I can write it before my life ends.149Please respect copyright.PENANA2qK8D56p0N
149Please respect copyright.PENANAgq0BMXgDFg
My sand's running out, tick tock cries the clock,149Please respect copyright.PENANAb5vffkheQn
