you spend your youth
feeling self-indulgently misanthropic
delaying the
making of good or bad decisions. 
he says: your twenties, that's the time to explore, 
you know? know the world. know yourself. 
i don't feel like talking
so i nod, yeah, yeah, the eyes, the cheeks, the nose, i nod
and really - this is all he wants. 
innocence is stubble hiding fears
(of friends
youth
passing
by)
a steady drip of information poses
no threat to a sturdy cocoon.
