Twenty Two

"bon voyage" was something that I once said

and eventually regretted.

Well, it's come up again...and I wonder if

The same mistakes I used to make

Could be remade.

Cause "I've been through this before"

Well I've said that too.

There's just so much that we can fake

Before we break ourselves into-two.

twenty two. the years can hardly catch up

With the years of playing catch up.

Must there always be a catch?

What we really want is just ahead,

Just over that hill.

And the more I learn, the less I try to climb.

The more we change, the more we wish

We stayed the same,

The more we try to fake ourselves into beliefs:

"the grass must be green somewhere!"

twenty two-the years can hardly catch up,

The years are playing catch up.

Must there always be a catch?
