Ovid called youth a positive influence.  
Reading and living   
Ontologically under-simulated his senses —   
He should be doing flips,   
Be furious w/ the world w/ dog food boxes..    
Indignant at keyholes, too, w/ their reactionary  
Counters to earnest alignment as his sure timing slips   
Under the prowess of drifting unquietly   
Into apothegms, into sidesteps of fine voice,   
“A voice and nothing more.”
