when you actually get up to get
a coaster for your
coffee cup

when you get annoyed
when visitors put their feet
where they have no
biz being

when you don't look forward
to getting the mail,
for the bad always outweigh
any good

when you think
I really want that,
and with no spacing, no separation,
you think,
nah too expensive

but most of all
you are no longer a child,
when you read
a long and lovely
poem,
think not childishly
"too long,"
instead, think

how lovely, if only there were more...

then you are truly
grown up!
