Innocence Skipped (+1)

The blonde playing hopscotch

had a tattoo

 

In a collision of eras,

her ponytail flew


As innocence skipped,

the ink started to run

A bastardized image

—of time overrun

Too Young

 

You’re too smart,

to be so stupid

 

Too warm,

to be so cold

 

Too bright,

to be close minded

 

Too young

—to be so old
