Sophomore Year

I, in my excitement, 
was waiting for 
That bootstrap.

And with baseball on 
Your mind, I tried
to seduce you with 
Theater. 

Secret dressing 
Room call. Me, you
and the Priest.

I saw between
Your legs as the
Makeup faded and I 
was never
Happier.

And now, matrimony,
a patriarch and
a stained Buddha
Statue I retreat to 
The Garden.

I think this captures the emotional essence of youth quite well.
