I remember

Almost two years ago now

I remember it quite clearly

By the vent where cool air was blowing

Thinking I’ll never see this place again.

I look at the classroom around me.

5th grade.

I am a daydreamer

As I walk along the fields,

math, science, or English lessons don't fill my mind

No, I see stories

I think of things that puzzle me

I think of superheroes

How each one is different

"Do  you like watermelon?" The store owner asks. "Yes," I say. The store owner pushes a plate of watermelon slices and winks. "It's on the house." I grin, taking one. "Thanks!" I say.

you?

the end,

the hope,

the forgotten?

yes, child, 

i know you.

you?

the lost,

the love,

the pain?

you, 

the light at the end of the tunnel?

yes, i know you.
