Swingset



There’s a pit in my stomach

But you’re filling it up with exuberance.

My hair wisps behind me

As a gentle touch brushes it away.

I have a smile, irrepressible

As my body rises and falls

Rises

And falls.

Rises

And falls.

My heart beats twice as fast

My lungs have burst with air

And I finally reach the point of jumping out of my skin

Or anything else that’s keeping me from flying.

Isn’t it ironic,

How such simple pleasures

Can come from just a piece of rubber

And some chains?
