Free verse № 244
Untitled
heard you talked to my mother today
don't think I don't know what you're doing
don't dance around in those little circles
skipping around in those tiny, tiny circles
you're no better at skipping than me
'cause I've been skipping all my life
look at my watch and I see
it's time to stop skipping
and time to start running
'cause it's doing me no good
I'm still in the same little circle
just like you
pretty soon we're gonna end up
walking a hole in the ground
now I climbed up to watch you
and I'll watch you from my tower of books
and from above you don't look so scary
but you're looking pretty scared
and maybe you should 'cause
what if I fell off my tower
you'd be the one to break my fall
I'm seeing just the top of your head
it doesn't look too soft
