My failings

are legion.

 

I won’t

set them

 

aside. Wanting

to be

 

desired for

example. Not

 

embracing others

enough for

 

example.  I

can’t pretend

 

to transcend

the scansion

 

of these

lines.  I

 

have disappointed

others.  I

 

have disappointed

myself but

 

have tried

to think

 

against the

tenor of

 

the time.

It’s not

 

enough to

dream yet

 

I do.
