indiscriminately impetuous
diving headlong to licentiousness
she takes to freedom like a fish
to bicycling or so it seems
to those who cling to an ethos
long past its sell by date
and they rate the folly of the young
with a mixture of envy and derision
but we all have delicious delusions
on which we feast and improbable hopes
that rise like yeast regardless of our age
humanity is preposterous and in our
hypocrisy and absurdity is found
both the worst and the best of us
