Poems
Mar 2012
For the love of swing sets
Kids jumping on dumpsters
Joyful shouts at the destruction
Youth, I remember it well
Stupidity too
I’m a few years ahead
But just a few
Was I once like that too?
I can’t remember
No I think my love was for swing sets
How they could lift you above everything
Even if they brought you down again
It left that twisted feeling in your stomach
Half the time not sure if it was good or not
But always we would run whooping for them
As soon as we got to the park
No... I’m definitely nothing like them
I wonder if they will learn...
Dumpsters of today
Friends of tomorrow
Children of an uncertain future
I hope they learn
I could tell them
But... they won’t listen
Having too much fun with their destruction
Those few years really mean something
No I was never like them
I was in love with swing sets
