facing a girl

once i faced a girl

who had not yet

faced her self


that situation

was a bit awkward

for a while


that actually happened

more than once

pretty much

every time


i still adore girls

apparently for

my own reasons


also apparently

the girls no longer adore

being a girl


so my adoration

is no longer acceptable


a parent my be a clue


most parents seem to think

children need some sort of encouragement


i don't agree


it seems to me

the children need freedom

to be the children they are


so many tell us what not to be

so many tell us what to be

and the children seem to be lost

in all those ideas in our heads
