back and forth, slowly, gently, but just enough so I can escape this world. I have to look in just the right spot, but when I find it I'm gone to a lush forest with only trees and skies around me. No more houses or cars or streets or televisions or toys. And no more people. Just me, swaying in my own little world from my backyard.

This is one of two poems that branched off from one poem in my head. It is quite interesting to see how very different they turned out being. The other poem is "Daddy,".
