When 18 Arrives

Listen to poem:
When 18 Arrives
David J Walker
 

There is no greater fiction
Than living room memory
 
The Drama
	The passion 
	`	The comedy 

The stairsteps to a childhood 
	Bedroom 

Blooming into an awkward attraction
The zeal for a perfect fashion 

Grieving for the any-cost 
		Love lost 

In a never-ending top hit radio
Playlist of Compassion 

I remember the year 16
Wondering if 18 would

	Every come
Wondering how I would die

And when
