growth

when i reason how my four legs

at once grew to a very strong two

most part of my ageing subcontious

and this hair which is dark as coal

trasforms with me unknowing,though

if i recollect a day i could never trace

its white roots,and decide completely

on what particular day the texture faltered

does this chemistry purposely escape

your knowing?,the answer

is a guess but this diapers to pantaloons

doth not need crooked showing,since

the start of day to night fades away

like neclace diamond stars,to the

amazement of even the athmosphere
