148Please respect copyright.PENANAdF59MfTVoe
My story untold, lessons learned unfurled,148Please respect copyright.PENANAxc5Cw2tzcx
But not not written down to pass down my truth,148Please respect copyright.PENANAdPC8OtL1AX
About things I know much more than I'd like,148Please respect copyright.PENANAnGOH0y1WH3
And others should learn, in old age and youth.148Please respect copyright.PENANAAlqyWTmH8x
148Please respect copyright.PENANAFN8kvxTfJC
Place bound for now on an imposed lockdown,148Please respect copyright.PENANAtckQ5nzFwn
Chained to my desk like galley slaves to oars,148Please respect copyright.PENANAOwqABNuFhS
Taping lectures, attending Zoom meetings,148Please respect copyright.PENANAfgajELOl2C
Depression abounds, if not joy or sleep.148Please respect copyright.PENANAo2GnZIAqVu

Nearly nine thousand words today for just,148Please respect copyright.PENANAWLNdF7g3md
One day's events that sowed a thousand seeds,148Please respect copyright.PENANAr83nvf991o
That sprouted, flourished and died or were pecked,148Please respect copyright.PENANAukCymuCAwh
By hungry vultures out of existence.148Please respect copyright.PENANA9zk22t9W8W
148Please respect copyright.PENANAVScIPohAoP
Remembering a day in my career,148Please respect copyright.PENANAPTAdc2Syjk
When I still viewed the world with bright, clear eyes,148Please respect copyright.PENANA7YZhUvpP1B
And had not opened doors I could not close,148Please respect copyright.PENANAwuk8UpNeBR
Or walked by closed doors I should have opened.148Please respect copyright.PENANA06nXOrTmNU
148Please respect copyright.PENANA201J0AbPFe
My world and heart were then innocent, pure,148Please respect copyright.PENANAYqY30duEZT
Full of good intentions waiting to burst,148Please respect copyright.PENANAXZSCXlmcJu
From a chest that could hardly hold them back,148Please respect copyright.PENANAdvuxjZmzzq
Foolishly thinking they could change the world.148Please respect copyright.PENANABwLFVCuBKT

Describe what I've learned that others should know,148Please respect copyright.PENANA9KHlxKXO73
Weave the personal with transparent thread,148Please respect copyright.PENANAmDBF3BEE25
The professional with thickest red yarn.148Please respect copyright.PENANAOjkhvCQ3zP
148Please respect copyright.PENANArym3kTnTwu
I'll search for an agent when it is done,148Please respect copyright.PENANAnTUjCOorPQ
As I'd like it read, unlike indie books,148Please respect copyright.PENANAljxGKFiylf
And I believe it will find a market,148Please respect copyright.PENANAQPzIWs9OTl
