Poet Toad Bids Adieu....
I was green...
as green as a soft-bellied toad in spring.
And I knew Everything.
As much as an 18 year old
thinks they know.
And all these other people around me knew nothing
Well, my attitude didn’t go too far before
it got squashed —
like the way freckle faced bullies smash
innocent ant hills in the school yard
Yes sir, I think us fresh/
men were Tender Toes to
the gravel road of True Academe.
It was a year of Initiation.
A Flat, clean blackboard just aching
for an impression from the smooth
powder chalk that lay quiet,
waiting for me to snatch it up
and di)ggone realize what being here
could mean — and to some —
it didn’t mean a whole lot.
We came in, wagging our tails,
thinking so full of ourselves, our
heads might explode.
Sooner or later though,
for me sooner,
we were humbled.
Taught in class that we didn’t really know
much at all and to
buckle our seat belts and away we go.
Bu^t see here now. I’m not some holy roller
Who s omniscient and doesn’t need nobody
and enjoys eating worms
No.
I am still wading and at times floundering
tor Tny senses —
Green as Ever.
“"‘^^''standing of not understanding
the consistency of change
and the acceptance of departure.
