Probably the time that was needed
to get me from being a clearly a child
to somebody who resembled an adult,
-as long as nobody knew me well
looked to closely at how I behaved.
When folks said they gave their time
'for free' what some thought but none said
was 'And if I were paid for my time
I would be worth a lot more
to people of status who mattered,
but the money just ain't there'.
But those words were as absent
as the yearned for money and choice.
Absence, whether of thought, wealth
or opportunity, was the ultimate measure.
