How fast can you run?
Will you shake responsibility off?
Or will you stop to face it?
And how hard can you fight?
When your friends are getting married
and your classmates are getting pregnant
why does time seem suspended?
Are you the only one awaiting the turning point?
A Peter Pan in baggy clothes
a clumsy clone of the best of you
was this a choice?
Or just the flow of the days
brought you to this shore
from where you watch
the routine slowly unraveling?
oh, childish onlooker
sense of guilt keeps you warm
great expectations
years spent planning the years to come
years that came, and were so different
from what you thought
better, or worse?
Or just different, just original?
So, tell me, who is better?
You, with a stained t-shirt
and a grasp of lasting dreams
or that puppet in suit and tie
slave to himself, to his plans
surrendering to a stronger stream
or that hysterical parody
of a self-made woman
bilious, hating and repressed?
Look: if you still can bear to watch
your reflection in the mirror
you're right, so goddamn right
great expectations
years spent planning the years to come
years that came, and were so different
from what you thought
better, or worse?
Or just different, just original?
