Adult Zone
Away we go
Bouncing along the
Cracked sidewalk
Daring one another to step on one, not thinking of our mothers
Elegies.
For we are young and what do we know.
God, remember when we were young?
How easy our lives were, only
Ideas of what the world held for us.
Juggling naps, and play dates. Very busy
Kings of the playground
Little were our minds
Massive is the world.
Nearby was the
Occasion of growing up
Peering through the window. How
Queer it was to think of growing older. It was
Rapidly approaching like a
Snake hidden in the dandelions.
Time, lead-footed, is he
Unfortunately is catching up in the race. The
Verdict is that life is now all about
Winning and losing. It’s no longer about finding the
X that marks our hidden treasure of
Youthful thoughts and actions. We are now entering the Adult
Zone.
