Real confidence recognizes its weaknesses and limitations, and is secure enough to admit when it is wrong.

I tend the gardens,
watch things grow,
pray for the immortal soul
of rock 'n' roll.

darkish hues,

a wimple with a novice-sewn
lace band, a rosary,

blue suede shoes.

I think of it
as Graceland here,
a land of grace.
It puts my trademark slow lopsided smile
back on my face.

Lawdy.
I'm alive and well.
Long time since I walked
down Lonely Street
towards Heartbreak Hotel.
