+a young child sleeps alone  
+in a nook at the party  
+while grown-ups talk and talk,  
+i am sitting at the boundary  
+between the two rooms,  
+two ages now, i remember drifting  
+between being awake and asleep:  
+awake to being tired and feeling  
+like no other child, in the group--  
+only a side-effect of being in a grown-up  
+gathering--resonated with me,  
+too young, too old, but it was nice  
+to talk to the grown-ups sometimes  
+about being asleep  
+dreaming  
+about being awake  
+as a grown-up  
+dreaming  
+about being asleep  
+as a child.
