Kids

"I feel like________"
i should have felt more.
like the mass of purple
life seekers
shouldering the
golden promise of
freedom
should have invoked
sobs of reminiscence
regretretrospectreparation
or at least a single tear of
closure (?!)
but
i just couldn't fake my way to
nostalgic euphoria
when caps were tossed
spinning violently
aimed at hundreds of
carefree bright eyes
that didn't yet have
the wisdom to
blink.

But i blinked.
you taught me how to blink.

  1. I'll be honest here. whether fake or real, I soaked in the nostalgia last friday. the caps flew and so did memories. I've landed back on this side, though - safe from the unrealities of time, eh?
