Oops

This amazing life!
This very curious life!
I feel so innocent
I feel so young, blushing
Knowing so little--
Sensing so much

This world is full of not knowing
Tricks, jokes, laughter
Turnarounds
Tender pimples, simple rain
Deep sadness
The last fragrance of summer slips away
Sudden fear, deep as the night
Fear that makes me start over right at the beginning
Revealing my complete cowardliness
My complete scaredy-catness

I am so shy
I am so right at the beginning
I am so fresh, so raw, so rugged, and good, and so forth
Do you see what I mean?
I was going to write the perfect ending to this poem
But I forgot it
