i love the feeling
of discovery
when it brushes against
my open hands
when it creeps
into my life slowly
making a home
from my personality
friends are always
excited for it
family is always
surprised by it
"look how much you've grown,"
spews from the mouth
of every great aunt
of every second cousin
the change invites questions
from everyone
who witnesses it
but now is when it's
at its peak
when the excitement
outweighs the confusion
the engaging part of learning
the best part of changing
the beginning
the beginning before you know the end
