Apple Tree

I swing head first on the apple tree

My legs gripped tightly around a branch

My body sways with the wind

Back and forth

Forth and back

 

I let my arms hang

The blood rushes to my head

Gravity wants to pull me down

But it can't and won't

Won't and can't

 

As I climb down I find

My pants are ripped and I am bleeding

With my gasp, I faint

Will and can

Can and will
