Changing scripts in midstream

I completed my career as a lawyer
which was mostly yesterday.
and stretched backward to remember
but find I am mostly still alive today.

Don't jump, rhyme, pull your hair,
but yes, poets have corners to pray
Poets Corner with father Geoffrey Chaucer
where kneeling or no, we have our say.

I can scribble, warble and even flare
without totally knowing what I pray.
