Mature

Thinking about maturity recalling when it was once something I absolutely didn't have and now it's maybe the first thing they see as I proceed to act like it's not there

The object of maturity back in the day not ripe

no telling today, still cradled in light fur as it finally became back then

grow up

act your age

make all the right decisions

what are you waiting for

waiting for...

waiting for...

I remember a guy who was mature

a hard Taskmaster from Chicago but given to building extravagant sandcastles at Pismo

and making chummy Christmas cards in a workplace of alienation
