dream reoccurring
Of marrying too
Young, marrying a job
I detest, chewing
Tobacco and fingernails,
Purging out numbers I’ll
Never understand, imaginary
Fulfillment, cupped in
The grasp of a quicksand suburbia
Waiting for days to end,
Waiting for lives to end.

The author's comments:
The most frightening part of adolescence is, not the fear of the unknown, but the fear that monotony will dominate the unknown and shrivel it to a mere daydream.
