If all my faults lie on a six month lag
Should I be angry at my present self
For ills that bear a long pre-dated tag
And simply lingered longer on the shelf
Than they perhaps should have? Can I demand
Account of long past actions from the now?
And if I do, would I honestly stand
Such trial patiently; and if so, how?
For he that was myself is now long gone
And I that feel his pain am not the same.
He was intelligent to so move on
And leave to me the problems and the blame.
Yet I will leave, I'm certain, future me
An equal share of unfair calumny.
