Then Now
Often, when young, I felt like a mushroom
shunning the sun. Pasty white, squat, bloated in cool, damp dirt.
But now I am
a marshmallow
in an opened package.
Pasty white,
leathery skin,
soft innards hardening.
Someone put me
on a shelf
in the cupboard.
I sit here still.

Lots of way to read this, all foreboding. Intriguing.
