I am the Folly

I am a folly.

Or at one?

I am a folly?

Or at one.

I am a lifetime, unborn

a dream, underachieved.

A thought, forgotten

or a question, unasked?

I am a god, praised

a silver coin, saved.

An answer, correct

or a statement, said.

I am the folly.

I am the folly.

The folly of my time;

               a second.
