i'm a juvenile

I recognize that I make mistakes.


  I'd cliff dive,
    an apathetic and self-disregarding swan,
      held to a breathless, nailbiting
flawless entry, barely a ripple,

                      into a swimming pool of sorrow;
     but who am I to demand your attention?

    I'm a parody, myself...
still licking the sting from a relationship,
        barely the length of a fling.
