grownups
Learn more about other poetry terms
Smiling away
Stuck in a cycle
Earning their pay
The same expressions recycled
A feel of dull colors
No escape from the future
A mirage of numbers
Where is the humor?
When do we become grown-ups?
Is it when we can go down big waterslides alone
Or when we can do a thousand sit-ups?
Is it when we start driving
Or when we stop making stupid slip-ups?
