my age.

I am 22.
It's true.

I've decided to come clean
As your grandmother.

How unacceptable
How formidable

I'm sorry, but it's inforfeitable!

I was born on November 3rd, 1999.

This is the biggest success of my career

The physical age, to me,
Is a binding societal construct
I refuse to sign the contract
It is the mind's eye I wonder at

I walked out of high school to crack pecans
To at last go back, two years later
That's why I am where I am

And the rest of my life has been a peculiar array of travels,
I am the one whisper you hear things about,
Yet know nothing about
