Ever-Shifting Success

At 13 my highest achievement
was scoring a goal in soccer

At 15 it was surreptitiously
borrowing my parents car

At 17 landing the lead
in the school play

At 20 the rare occasion
of getting laid

At 24 ascending
the vaulted improv comedy ladder

At 26 avoiding the mounting legal
and personal troubles begat by unchecked addiction

At 30 sobriety

At 34 friends, family,
simple pleasures, and responsibilities fulfilled
