The Passion of Youth
Starting intellectual discussions at an “anything but clothes” party
Half intoxicated
We debate the role of language in the definition and execution
Of the differentiation between sex and gender
And let’s move on to an epiphany of how we all view the world
Head, heart, soul, hands.
I’m burnt out from a lifetime of long weeks
But my mind is set on fire with the passion in front of me.
Heavy words and rapid gestures
Articulating the depth of understanding
And consciousness of the youth of my today.
I live for these moments and after
I can walk home to sleep deeply for the first time in a month.
