testing the waters

wish there was a way to test the waters,
it has never been,
     so much,
my way,
     too much.

I prefer to stand at the edge of the pool,
bend one knee, arms out-balance, other foot-swish the water-swueshh
dive in, Nothing was Considered

age has made me more cautious,
less precocious,

age has made me say no
before I say yes

wonder where I would be today
if in youthful days, All Things were Considered

thought I had mastered
making the best of iffy decisions
making the most of Fool's gold

although I never mastered the art of walking away from
without a quick look back
