Audio and Video Music:
Solo Cello Passion.
By Doug Maxwell.

Fifteen's neither
child nor adult,
In between charade and innocence,
Fending off the forces that would shape
Too soon an unremarkable result.
Even when a teen attempts to ape
Essences to which her heart assents,
No draft should be approved without
revolt.
