Growing Pains -poem-
I've changed.
When between yesterday
and the unwinding springs
did my reflection become different?
Lost in eternity,
the twilight of my youth
surprises and frightens me.
Who was I?
Certainly not that!
Disgusted at my behavior.
I don't remember
my face growing tired,
the mattress dent deepening.
Where did I get that nerve?
To say what I did?
Unacceptable.
The favorite tee,
ten sizes too small.
Drawers full of uselessness.
Why do I reget?
I didn't know better.
Old blocks don't fit like new.
Caterpillars smeared
on the vicious rocks.
Not so cruel now, I pray.
What was that about?
Mark from the gravel,
does he remember?
