5
monkey bars
they were all she could hold on to
when the ground crumbled
beneath her trembling feet
4
swings
they were the metronomes
that conducted her life
so she could stay together
3
slides
they helped her explain
what she was feeling
when everything was moving too fast
2
basketball hoops
they showed her how to do
what other people wanted
to get what she needed
1
merry-go-round
that taught her how not to puke
when things wouldn't stop spinning
inside of her head

Life is just a playground full of little children and their games.
