when l was younger and daft

when l was younger and in my teens
l walked by myself from Alborough to Robin hoods bay
now l wonder if l can walk the cliffs around my home
firstly look at medicines then time drink and food
along with spray in case l get out of breath

then

l would take some cans and food
a rucksack with clothes and sleeping bag
tent
and a few quid
and walk
for three days
almost without a care





was it just the time and my age?
or
a period in my life
when l was fearless
clumsy
energetic
daft

NOW
Am l more skilled, lazier fearful of the time, or events, or is just age that makes me pococurante
the event till l suck the energy away and no longer want to make the journey

EITHER way who would come with me because l not sure l want to journey alone any more!
