well, today is my seventeenth birthday.
nothing spectacular,
just another year
and a year older than yesterday.
yes indeed, i've turned seventeen.
it's like i'd always dreamed:
the same as yesterday
and tomorrow too
i may be older, okay
but there is not a thing more i'm allowed to do.
i can still only walk the streets
til the same time at night
i cant go to bars
and get into barfights.
yes, a birthday unspectacular
save for one dumb thing:
i legally get into movies rated 'R'
now, aint that something.
