shaving
By Jonas
and when i looked in the mirror i saw that i had become a man
with little lines speaking of the sub-atomic particles swirling in the
wirl-wind
that is
time
time laying small foundations
i wondered what kind of man i had become
just like i had wondered when i was young
a child and i found i had no answer
and decided that maybe a man is always becoming
=
running and the cessation of the act is not even worth mentioning
the attraction that there's more to learn internally
because i know there is no grass greener anywhere
there's simply more to being than developing opinions on different shades
of color with your eyes cast down
=
after a cold shower
out of hot water
i find that the eyes of a child see only adventure
and the man i've become simply accepts
that every day you can't be tom sawyer
but the truth of my spirit tries to reconcile the two.

"but the truth of my spirit tries to reconcile the two." A fantastic last line to this introspection. I loved the hope it speaks of even when the truth of adulthood makes us hate this life and what it does to the free-spirit of innocence. Excellent write.
