I sat here for a long time and dreamt
that all the narrow platforms or the studies
in human species were enlightening
but we all miss the wherewithal of
wreaking pure havoc on the displacement
of focused lives. I wanted to stay a child
until I wanted desperately to be an adult;
in both cases, I wanted to be fun-loving.
Hey chickpea, where was that place we all
went for Chinese food? When can I be
informal and alluring and adaptable
for consumption as well as a tropical
American for you to hold back.
