Jettisoning old visions and odd disciplines with brusque efficiency
Severing dubiety like someone swiping tall weeds with a scythe
Enjoying the newly pronounced feeling of levity
Tales from the great unwashed a diminishing recollection
Ebullient about this sense of one’s own regeneration
Eyes previously rheumy positively twinkle
Spirit aroused from a memory long sopor
Contumely remarks avoided, his brethren applauds
Vowing to remain contrite and empathetic in all matters
These are the times to mete out well-behaved objectives
Those shouts that are traveling through the wind smitten streets are from one man
A man at ease with life’s current developments
