The boy in the lassi shop

You are pristine,

a newly formed adult,

whose family, teachers and friends

worked hard to prepare.

You are confident,

you set yourself on the block,

and made a strong start

whilst they watched with pride.

You are not lost,

You gathered acedemia’s fruit

and plan to conquer commerce

what else is there to know?

But your wave won’t crest forever.

Adult choices forge changes.

You have become your own dice

but it’s still just snakes and ladders.
