Growing up ruins everything. Maturity's glittering ice impresses for a while. A young woman, sweet and nice, takes me into her confidence, but it's the adult way. She has a child's smile but it's made for a future day. The heat of sex ruins everything. Real war replaces games of war. Necessity replaces charm. Study the once mysterious star through lenses judging chemicals. The greatest book of all is Peter Pan. Something about when Wendy grows old destroys me as a man.
