I almost made mistakes
snaking
with my hormoned hands,
pretending studness
with miss takes;
but I fell back
to loathsome nerdyness
and survived my youth.

Oh, those hormones can be such troublesome things. I’m glad you survived. And nerds live longer, they say 😉
The trickyness of being young and trying to figure out women.
Bwa ha ha…one of the pluses of being a nerd! I think it did save us some regrets.
How clever to use miss takes (as a person) ~ And to survive the youth and nerdyness must have been a great relief, smiles ~
“Nerds” are sexy. I don’t believe for a second that being smart kept you out of trouble. I’m sure you were just sly about how you got into it.
I’m thinking you could end up finding that Ms. Miss got around. A few got burned, a few learned. Good one, Bjorn!

A playful bit of wordplay, Bjorn!
I like the “snaking with my hormoned hands” and the play on words with “miss takes”–great response, Bjorn 🙂
Delightful and charming – those foible-y passages of our youth – that eventually we can revisit and not cringe (though, for the longest time, we never thought we would be able to).
