When I Was Young...

I hungered for many things:
enlightenment and revelation;
fame and its attendant bullshit;
the glorious butt of the girl
who lived just two blocks distant;
honesty, justice and revolution;
heroic deeds and ringing words;
the only wife who could deliver
true love, forever and ever;
children who would love me
no matter what sad fate befell;
foreign ports and holy mountains.
Now I am decidedly content
with a glass of Bourbon and Mozart.
Has the world shrunk or have I?
