My Youth Is Escaping Without

There Isn't Much To Say. I Haven't Been At All Deedy.

My Youth Is Escaping Without Giving Me Anything It Owes Me.

I Never Agree With The Compliments Paid To It. It Is Not A Great Healer. It Is An Indifferent And Perfunctory One. Sometimes It Does Not Heal At All. And Sometimes When It Seems To, No Healing Has Been Necessary.

Civilized Life Exacts Its Toll.

If I Were Not A Child With My Parents, They Would Be More Unloving Toward Me.
