It's A Scary Thing; Moving On. Part

I Figure If Doc Is Right About The Time I Have Left,i Should Wrap Up My Adolescence In The Next Few Days, Get Into My Early Productive Stages About The Third Week Of School, Go Through My Midlife Crisis During Martin Luther King Jr's Birthday, Redouble My Efforts At Productivity And Think About My Legacy, Say, Easter, And Start Cashing In My 401(k)s A Couple Weeks Before Memorial Day.

But The Truth Doesn't Need To Be Known, Or Believed, To Be True.

Something About The Joy And Pain Of That Moment, Something About The Excruciating Contrast, Made Me Feel That No Matter What Happens Now, My Life Has Been Worth It. What A Ride.

My First Book, 'running Loose', Was Censored Back In 1983 Or '84. Every Book I've Written Since Has Been Censored Somewhere.

Once A Thing Is Known,it Can't Be Unknown.
