Regret 2

It looks like we managed to destroy each other. O you couldn't remove yourself from your entrenched, Parochial ways. And as for me I couldn't Relinquish rabid, quirky eclecticism. Yet you badly needed poetry & culture; Whilst I needed a connection with the wild world. Inevitably, we lost out to all the brutes And philistines who populate this backward place: Where there's not the slightest chance of evolution. Now there's only silence and the passing of years. You're bored out of your mind amidst the nouveau riche: Where to possess a soul is most unappealing. Whilst I'm treading water with jesters & fraudsters. We've most certainly angered the gods & the saints. We wasted precious moments, that won't come again. It's only now I wish that we'd never parted.
