The State of the Art of Existence at Age 21
Boys plagued me all my life
taunting me with their smiles
as if they had a private knowledge
that I wasn't allowed to share.
Now, boys who have never shaved
look at me with promises
just beginning to sprout
on their faces.
I smile at them
and they smile back,
thinking that I am a man
who knows.
