here is a life
written in layers
and child lays at the base
underlying it all
with teen and young adult
above – a living geology;
then the middle era
and finally calcified old age.
when studied later
they will know
that this was a person
below which were others,
beyond which were others
and these here, the non-conformities
where child erupted through old age
while young adult dove into youth
as a result of those glacial pressures
that bore down day in and day out.
the many voices in the chorus
presents a harmony of the whole,
witness to what once was.
