Grown-up

If I’m going to be a grown-up
I suppose I’ll have drink coffee
read a classic and watch documentaries

If I’m going to be grown-up
I’ll have to learn to pay bills
work 40 hours a week and think about marriage

If I’m going to be a grown-up
I can’t throw out a conception of the divine
because it’s not cuddly enough

If I’m going to be a grown-up
I’ll have to be okay with discomfort
hard beds and hot soup

If I’m going to be a grown-up
I’ll have to be able to articulate my beliefs
even the tough ones

If I’m going to be a grown-up
I’ve got a long way to go
