One year, two year, three year
they pass so quickly,
it seemed I was a child,
teenager,
young adult,
man,
all before I knew what happened.
I wanted to be adult
and now I reach for childhood
Elementary, Junior High, High School and
College
a twenty-year reunion
a glance at the past that’s gone.
Nothing changes, everything changes
my hair changing now
my body changing too
vitamins the doctors recommends now with test
Invasive, odd, strange and reserved test for other, older people.
I am those older people now
it has all changed
but I still remember cartoon vitamins
they tasted grape.
