Incredible

It's incredible, isn't it?
Here I am before you
Appearing like a real life adult.
All the correct parts
A pleasant expression
Yet ...
Beneath this quiet exterior
Are two nine year olds
One standing on the other's shoulders
Both doing their nine year old best
to keep the illusion alive.

I Erred

I erred
A delightful err
And now ...
Harry's crooning
The Moonbeam Song
On repeat
As I drift off to sleep.

Now I See ...

It took this catalyst
A lifetime
But
Now I see ...
It wasn't only the shove
Off the lap
It was the insult
And humilation
Of the basement
