I don't really know what people mean
by Loss of Innocence. Is innocence not
just a 19th century word for naivety ?
Or is it something more legal and stark ?
For example:
is one innocent before genital mutilation
and guilty afterwards ?
I have my mother's naivety, and then some,
and I think I'm only now 'losing my innocence'.
It's a strange feeling, a bit like my insouciance
that I'm not able to come.
