Bird As Fish

Nineteen is a good age.
It is the age when I smile more than ever.
Young, but not too young.
No wrinkles, no worries.
Carefree late nights.
Money for clothes.
Thinking for my own feet.
It is the age when I become a child again.
It is the age when I dance down the walk singing about how groovy I feel.
It is the age when I feel adorable.
Basking.
Oh yes, nineteen is a good age.
