'she'Et

When I was a boy I repudiated you
Your cooties chased you out the crew
The innocence across the playground blew

I ran and ran and ran

Later I was taught how to communicate to you
Your dress had black borders and dotted lines I retained the view
I remember in that moment my curiosity for you grew

Soon we, little men, inscribed our names onto manhood
Its hard surface wore my pencil dull and no good
At bonfire we threw in our graphite and wood

I watched it burn and burn and burn

By adolescence I turned despondently shy 
On a shadow of descry over your moniker
My drab feelings moored, to an anchor,
Swayed back and forth out in the middle of the water

As a young man I sat and listened to her voice
On that day my pencil lead and made a choice
It walked out the boat and drew uniformed waves 
colliding under a mountainous view to rejoice

And I wrote and wrote and wrote
