Express Valentine

At that perfect age where
everything is for the last time
long enough to have understood
my childhood its embarrassments
as necessary groundwork
for those of my adult decades
it all seems so simple now
how could I have been so clueless
as at the last page of a good mystery
everything slips back into sense
even if the plot was forced a bit
by the introduction at the end
of several other possible outcomes
for the culprit and his victims
