Maturity Seems

like a slow process to the heart that roams, tastes
stolen grapes off vines, sweet, musky,
stands in rain or shine,
and dances on tables.
It's because we keep falling out of it.
And so what's the big deal about growing up?
Even children can tend to responsibility,
and growing up is such a headlong rush into death.
