Dumb As A Post

i am living proof

that a person 78 years

of age can still be

dumb as a post

i haven’t had enough time

to learn everything

yet

for example

only today i learned why govt

websites don’t let you use slashes

(hint: it involves hacking)

only today i learned not all spiders

weave webs

only today, when i saw some old photos,

did i learn how much i still love you
