Snipped
By dwells
Post-coital youth, the vulgar truth
You never had a chance
Gonadic spume, ecstatic doom
Amusement in your pants
While on her back, a stealth attack
Asleep, she never woke
Her branches split, the fires lit
With each imagined stroke
Another came with seeds of shame
A conquest to renew
Beneath her dress, the weeds confess
You fled like morning dew
You hesitate to pollinate
A bloom without a stem
Your roots are gone, beneath the lawn
The pruning shears condemn
Oh native son, your race is done
(you never heard the starting gun)

I guess some of that's true but, you never measure yourself by accomplishments of other men, nor timeline. I haven't done bad for the shape I'm in.

Mo, Jerry, BfP, and Drea! Many thanks my friends and I apologize profusely for mixing my metaphors, but the closing lines were just too good to lie dormant. Cheers all! - Dan

For me the 4th stanza was pretty perfect. I'm always taken aback by how damn clever and intelligent your writes are. As I was reading this i found myself thinking about Darwinism, only to see it as one of your tags. Dan, this was good.
