unsure

i finally grew up just to find myself in my second childhood-
once upon a time, my love, i was
the little engine that could

now, somehow, i'm the little engine that can't
and my teeth hurt and i'm in desperate need
of a bath

i am more or less decent at math
yet i cannot equate the date
that'll set you back on my
path

an ache in my spine,
a pain in my back

my feet hurt and no reflexologist
alive can change the mud back
into dirt

i'm certain that i'm unsure.
