Aging
cling to that cigarette
shake like a homeless man
nearly eighteen and this is your province
when you're old you'll feel at home
look back to your seventeenth
can't remember, can you?
all your aging gets you nothing but bored
it's all the same, all the same
stop shaking
stand up
stand up
stand up
you couldn't be somebody else
you didn't spend your second grade
whittling pencils into statues
you didn't start feeling until it was too late for you
old at five and still i'm aging
