With my many apologies for lack of updates...
your folks saw it before you did:
the first time you fell into a conversation
the first time you rose to an occasion
realising after the fact
that from then on, every time
would be a first time
so pick an attitude
take some strides.
mornings fall
afternoons rise
-the bottom of a pail is broken through-
wow
that’s bright blue.
looks good on
you.
