Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Glimpse Into My Future

Feeling grown up
On the edge

Older cousins
Invite me
Nonchalantly
To follow them
Into their world
That magical world
They call normal

Hold my breath
Surprised, hesitant, poker faced
I head down the stairs

The basement is dim
Coloured lights in corners
Comfy chairs here and there
Forty-fives spinning
Floating hazy rings of smoke
A scene surreal

I was let in, invited
A notch above a wall flower observer
Taking it all in
Letting it soak in
My future before me
A glimpse of what I’d become
In just a few years

I remember it all somewhat
As a milestone initiation

I was still in school during this time and loved playing my 45's I bought with my own money I worked for at various things. This brings back memories!!
