better not to go
the journey long and our time
altogether short
like carrying a
one gallon jug of milk up
missionary hill
turning inside-out
and yet the end still finds me
running downhill fast
riding crazy horse
tried to stable but broken
doors; down the boys hall
the champion gymnast
she's approaching now to ask
would I compete too?
the excitement of
Redecoration! Plenty
of new space to fill
going up backwards
finding nuggets all the way
cup so full it breaks
--------
taking the gold pen
when teacher's gaze has left me
I'll doctor my grade
