I want to lose my virginity more often

I want to lose my virginity
more often.

I want to remember every detail
of the first time
I eat
pickled eggplant.

How it feels on my tongue
the first time I use
resplendent
in a sentence.

What smiles first
your face or
your eyes
when I meet
you.

I want to remember
if it is muggy
and are the cherry blossoms out yet
on the day
I finally
feel old.

I want to journal these moments
with the ravenous attention
of a romantic. I want
play-by-plays
and the thud
of stopped time.

Like it was back then
on that rec room carpet
giddy and shy and momentous
I want to let more of life
be demanding
of its own
immensity.
