WANTED to watch the ECLIPSE
I got to listen
to the NASA feed
I got to remember GREAT MOVIES
I LOVED
I was giving off
SOME VIBE I guess
because VIKKI was telling me
STORIES
from her strident stubborn girlhood
THANKS for sharing
the ECLIPSE
with me
she SAID
it was JUST NICE
& it was a FUN
THOUGHT experiment
I've THOUGHT about
what books might I have
for a small child
I've THOUGHT about
what kind of RELIGION or
vis a vis HOLIDAYS
BUT
I NEVER thought
LIKE your midTEEN
comes to you & SAYS
WHAT was it LIKE
WHERE you come FROM
WHAT could there
POSSIBLY be
that would be RELEVANT
THAT is my experience of
young people generally
BUT they are
uniformly older
SO
THEN
it's more like a very small group
AND I was then ALSO young
