It was in this year
The scales of innocence were
slowly removed from my eyes
And I began to see and experience the wonders
Frustrations
Cruelty

And reality of my world

Sprinkled with a little sugar
Washed down with a cold drink

That she kissed me for the first time
And I didn’t see firecrackers and shooting stars
But new words to taste
To savor

…so I asked for seconds
