I have learned caution
Nowadays I look both ways before crossing the street
Instead of flying willy nilly into traffic
Like I used to do.
I swear
You can only get run over so many times
Metaphorically speaking
Until you wise up
Or die.
I guess I learned caution
The hard way
After years of making choices
So random they hardly
Registered and
Crossing the street in front of oncoming cars
Was what I did
Metaphorically speaking.
