@selenagomez has the face of a child. A pretty one, but a little girl nonetheless. Britney Spears and I are the same age or maybe a year apart and my father would always talk about how he didn’t get her sex appeal that he looked at her and saw someone who could be his daughter and now I’m doing the same, I guess. Although I would have had to been a teen dad and so I’m glad that didn’t happen, but it makes me feel old that this superstar looks like a middle schooler and was born the year that Marlboro Man died of cancer, Grunge was king, Batman: The Animated Series was two months away from airing, and we were just coming out of a recession where we were being told to buy American. In her youngster’s visage and countenance, I see death looming and ever-present on the horizon. I see my mortality slow in its slipping away from me. I see a kid and wonder when am I going to have one. #poetry #poetsofinstagram #alanpassman (at Long Beach City College-Pacific CST)
