My youthful blunders still haunt me today.
Follies & false starts whilst learning my way.
The ache & tease of new comprehension.
The senior varsity’s condescension.
Gripped in cringe at the memories of then.
Learning on the fly a new world of men.
Nevermind love, or marriage, or mating…
Can I master new cultures of dating?
Lifetimes I’ve spent to build understanding.
Our room for new is ever expanding.
