maturity

4-19-'xx: sometime during 2nd hour

[maturity]

like plunging into icy cold water
out of stifling heat
pleasure without pain is a rare thing.

thinking of all the consequences
ruins every moment
seemed like a good idea, didn't it?

they tell you and tell you over and over
and you say "me? never."
a trained response, regurgitation.

will you become another tired story,
another I told you so?
you're naive in your maturity.
