Nineteen is a train wreck of priorities
Steam Engine number 36-24-36
College caboose
Everyone stops to watch
Some pick up pieces
Most just stare
My train rides on rails of fear
They are restricting
I Shovel more coal
More coal
More coal
I am going to get where I'm going today
I have to
There are deadlines
I don't know where I'm going
In the darkness of a tunnel I see your train approaching
You too are rushing at unknown destinations
The collision in inevitable
Nineteen is a train wreck of priorities

yes, 19 is wonderful, ain't it? Enjoy it all! Do not rush it on, just sit back and breathe it in...Kevin, I love this! You'll realize what I'm saying when you're 30.

Hi Kevin~
This is a delightful write and it's funny how those priorities in another 10 years will be so different, enjoy 19 it's the best time of your life.

Kevin,

Insightful and well written. As with the others....wait until you are 45. The train-wreck gets worse and better. I guess that is why life is such an adventure.

Now that I am much older I wish that I had dated many more women of nineteen with those measurements...ah yes nineteen is a lovely time...and the perfect time for a young man to enjoy life...that is when he is not studying...James
