What to do
What to do
When an old friend
Reaches great heights
Rarified air
Of fame and fortune
Their feet don’t touch the ground
Their wit becomes banal
(My latest favorite word)
What to do
What to do
Why, stick to your guns!
Fasten your belt tighter
Square your shoulders
And be the same person
You’ve always been
But don’t fall into the mire with them
Don’t even wish it
Nor
Desire it
Or
Dream it
Stand up straight
And enjoy your own sun
Your small but meaningful
Accomplishments
Are the silk threads of the finest robes
That this current emperor
Thinks
He is wearing.
For
This truism
Is true
He’ll be wearing diapers by 90 too.
