I thought this poem was OK... until I got to the end, which is when I loved it. Those last few lines were beautiful:

today, I want to learn everything
like a six-year-old again

before I slip
and do a double take and become
complicated again.

Those lines -- loved them. Especially the first two. Those were my favorite. Learning like a six-year-old again. That's just... so innocent. Can I add those lines to my quote book?

abuseyou'll prove more true than those that have more cunning to be strange.

(paraphrased shakespeare)

the last verse is a surprise, in a good way. it's a good ending to a satisfying poem; i especially liked the fourth verse (if you count the first line as a verse).

though "the ink of nature filling me out" is kinda awkward, to me.
