Wasted Youth.

I saw this on my hike today.
I wanted to poke it.  And then I remembered that snakes have fangs (and that I am not 5) and I thought better of it.  And then I realized, kids have it really good.  If I was 5, I could have poked this snake and no one would have thought I was 
a) cruel
b) stupid or 
c) hoping to get bit by a snake. 
Instead  they would have thought I was a curious 5 year old who didn’t know any better…which made me realize that I have passed the age at which I should know better.  And then I cried. 
DAMMIT. 
Wasted youth, man.  Wasted youth.
