today
exactly nineteen years old– not old
behind the glass

today
nineteen fishes of gold– not gold
within the bowl

nineteen pairs of shoes bought and sold
nineteen slices of strawberries so bold
nineteen tears left in the cold

nineteen secrets untold
don’t tell

tomorrow
nineteen– not exactly nineteen

don’t fold
don’t fold
