Young Poems
the thing before the thing before the thing
by Bogdan Dragos
because it’s nice to be young
because it’s nice to be in your
early to mid twenties
and it’s nice to do the thing
after you’ve done the thing
the thing that comes after you’ve
done the
thing is always
the same

Mi Pueblito Perdido
by Carl Halling
O how
Ruefully I pine
For mi pueblito perdido,
What I wouldn’t give,
To be young again,
And happy as I was back then.
Maria, full of peace,
Do you remember
Francis Albert softly keening

Such a Short Space of Time
by Carl Halling
I love, not just those
I knew back then,
But those
Who were young
Back then,
But who’ve since
Come to grief, who,
Having soared so high,
Found the
Consequent descent

my first conversation with the girl I love
by Agustin Romano
Hey so how long are you going through the whole rolling your eyes routine?
how could you see right through me?
when I didn’t even see it?
I’m kinda drunk so Im bold enough to ask for your number
ah
never mind
still
lets talk

Young-Old
by V B Eudaimonia
While I was young,
I cared about hero, more than the villain
And, now I'm old,

Falling in Love (a clique)
by P Jane
I was careless,
I lived without care, in front of those whom I cared for,
Until I cared about you.
At the start, I woke with you, showered with you, and laughed with you.
I did not care which light you saw me in,
I payed no mind to where you touched me,
I saw you as an aspect of my life, one meant for fun and for a moment,
Until I cared about you.

People like you die young
by Bogdan Dragos
People like you die young, she said
You don't drink, don't
do drugs, eat healthy, rarely
go out, rarely meet new girls
But you keep on writing, boy, you
keep on writing
and that's enough to outweigh
all the above

Girls with glasses are cute
by Bogdan Dragos
Girls with glasses are cute
but that's only what I think
and she doesn't agree
so she's wearing contact lens
and she's losing them more
often than not
and the house becomes
a minefield
and we have the thread
lightly

14 cigarettes
by Bogdan Dragos
This girl smoked 14 cigarettes in
a span of one and a half hours
"Yeah, but they're slim," she says
"But they're still fourteen."
"Yeah, but so am I," she says.
"But... you look at least eighteen..."
