Indeed

Sound of silver talk to me
Makes you want to feel like a teenager.
Until you remember the feelings of
A real live
Emotional
Teenager.
Then you think again.

When I feel old (which seems to be more and more often these days), I remind myself what it felt like to feel younger and stupider. More fucked up. Thinner skin in all the wrong places. Full of misplaced yearning and dangerous illusions. And then I feel better about being 31-going-on-32.
