Moral of the Story
I’m in the phase of life when the moral kicks in
Most of the relevant antagonists and foils
Have already been introduced
And a general adversarial tone has been established
If there was a turning point I missed it
All that’s left now is anti-climax
And a long scudding denouement
Now it’s just lesson after lesson
Smacking me upside the head
All the hard truths bursting forth like crocuses
Eager to be looked at and watered
All that build-up and exposition for this?
I’m the hare getting whipped by a tortoise
The unreachable grape just before it spoils
