Reverse Order

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Youth is about acting before thinking. 

Adulthood is thinking before acting.  

Youth dances with delusions. 

Maturity cuts in on that dance

and changes the music.
 

Adulthood is about denying 

what once made you happy

and not stepping on 

your own two feet. 

But not always.
 

Thankfully.

Paul Oliverio

(1998)
