Bialy

Since I was 25
I have never
felt not 25.

But I look in the mirror
and I am forced to say
this is not the face
of a 25 year old
starring back at me. 

Nobody feels 
like an adult.
That's the world's
dirty little secret.

But today I realized
I had never
had a bialy before.

So there is still
youth and newness
to be found;
you just have to look 
where you have already looked.
