Urban Sonnet
There is nothing I would do differently, nothing I would change
I have been so lucky, being allowed to participate in this urban sonnet called “life”
Of course I have had some things go horribly awry
but I’ve also had some things that maybe didn’t work out the way that I wanted them to,
just “differently” than I wanted them to
I’ve also had experiences that I will treasure for the rest of my days
been places, done things, met some people
that I will never, ever forget
I moved in and out of scenarios,
glided through the midnight streets,
wet and oily,
like a cold Cadillac
cruisin’ to a beat that pleased my soul
and fed my mind
and made it home safe
I’ve experienced a truly lush life;
and there is not a moment I regret,
not a minute I’d change.
I am so lucky…
