Old-Fashioned, New-Fangled
Recently I sat back and thought of life…
Eventually I had to desist,
Not that there wasn’t enough to resist,
Although you wouldn’t know to ask my wife.
I am a multi-faceted person:
Someone who is at home with poetry,
Sentimental about a fallen tree
And yet as hard as nails about cursin’.
No, I cannot be sub-categorized.
Catch me with my right eye giving a wink
Even as I’m mad at those who don’t think:
Maybe old-fashioned, new-fangled – disguised.
At any rate, I’m me – just as I am:
Neither more nor less, a renaissance man.
Sonnet XVI
