When I Grow Up

Do you ever look in the mirror and think,
Oh, there she is...I guess ?

I mean, I spent easily my first twenty years
wondering what kind of grownup I’d be someday,
and it was always hazy,
without any solid intentions.

So I slipped through the next couple of decades.
Just tonight, at forty years old,
I looked in the mirror and thought,
Oh.

Because I guess I’m at the spot I was wondering about.

It’s pretty anticlimactic.
