H<\/span>ow did<\/span> I live so long?<\/p>\n

Ah, well, the one thing we can be sure of is that it once and for all disproves any positive correlation between virtue and longevity. Not that I’m that<\/span> old. But I’m definitely well past the good die young <\/span>age band. More in survivor<\/span> territory, I’d say.<\/p>\n

Anyhow, gettin’ old. It’s hell, yadda yadda.<\/p>\n

They talk about wasting youth on the young — but, really, <\/span>I don’t think I could take<\/span> what I went through when I was young, now.<\/p>\n

Or put myself, through, more than anything. But it had to be gone through, apparently: driven by a highly personal vision of my dharma, I plunged on.<\/p>\n

At any rate, nowadays I have philosophy<\/span> on my side — and plenty glad I do. Getting old is hell…<\/p>\n

\nI Was Just a Kid<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I was just a kid who’d
\nmemorized some lines
\nI never dreamed
\nI would hurt you
\nyou said we couldn’t run
\nfrom the pain that would come
\nnow you wear that pain
\nand it suits you<\/p>\n

we picked up our places
\nin the game that went before
\nthe path lay in lies
\nto be burned through
\nif I could run back home
\nI would lay me back down
\nand suckle at the breast of virtue
