YOUNG ADULT
YOUNG ADULT
This glorious Sunday
there was so much sunshine
and so much walking around
that my body gorged itself on both
without assuming any consequence.
And now, curled up in a still-radiating ball
pinned-down by feelings
that come only as a result of not being the boy I was,
I recognize that even those things I love
can sometimes arrive
in packages too large to unwrap all at once
and still effectively enjoy.
