poem

 Maturity

The trouble with growing up—

“becoming a man”

is realizing 

There was always a little boy

living inside you


But the second you see him

He dies

and you have to bury him. 


Which is why every new man  

has the same drawn     look

of someone just come coming 

from a funeral
