You Can Never Go Back
So many things, we're told
we must accept as manifest fact-
one of the oldest of these maxims,

and others for simple childhood joys-
never have to worry about things like paying the rent,
just remember to pick up all your toys.
And you can't go back to growth,
or days filled with discoveries and wonders;
not even the far-off echoes,
of the bad choices that tear our lives asunder.
Mistakes we make,
whilst too young to know the consequences,
nonetheless darken the rest of our future-
Social Darwinists would say,
we were already locking into a pattern
