there was a big bump on my elbow
i thought it was an idea
but it was only a bite
from a spider under my bed.
there was a sunburn on my head
i thought it was an idea
but it was only an itch
after a day at the beach.
there was a scratch on my knee
i thought it was something bleeding
but it was only one of those
spills on my bike.
there was a flavor of ice in my mouth
i thought it was something cold
but it was only the taste
of what I will become.
there was the memory of riding the swing
i thought it was me free
And it was.
