I grew up with artificial flavors,
seizures, hyperactivity, sugar, depression,
medication and a sense of humor.
I grew up horny and anxious.
I grew up playing air guitar.
I grew up wanting to be intervened in,
wishing I could be usefully colonized.
I grew up waiting.
I grew up changing channels.
I grew up uncertain and confused.
I grew up dreaming I could fly.
