recalling personal history
(especially at a great distance
from which we've gained
a little perspective)
we can know, recognize,
that the trauma of adolescence
is not the end ~
there's more, and better, to come:
but knowing is not feeling;
and recognizing,
even from a distance,
does not take away
the pain
trying to pay attention to what's going on in the world around me
