accursed charm

part of my accursed charm
I never learned to be an adult

she was wearing
a little black dress
and a bored smile

hazel eyes
in candlelight

how many times
in our long and varied lives
have we been offered
the chance to settle down

flying fish
defying gravity
a thing of the past

to drop anchor
well aware
that the sails were furled
forever

here I sit
two guitars
a computer
books
my brain

would I like to swap?
sometimes

do I regret?
never
