Now that I look at it,
in retrospect,
we were such fools.
So blatantly ignorant,
so blatantly blind.
It's hard to believe
that such shit,
such swill, could
come from our mouths,
and that we would think it so profound,
so meaningful,
so epic and wonderful.
We were actually
fools.
Fooled by our inexperience,
and fooled by each other.
I am a fool no longer,
but I am afraid that I cannot
say the same for you.
