Today we got out
the hammock
believing that winter
is finally gone
and that spring
will soon become summer

We lifted it
from where it lay
wrapped up
upon the basement floor
we brought it back

Imagine walking
on a tightrope
or running along
the edge of a cliff

It would feel
so exhilarating 
to be so close to death
and yet feel so alive

Take a deep breath
hold my hand
I won't let you fall

Today in Humanities
we began to write
our speeches 
for our Human Impact Project
and I wondered how
our speeches will be presented
now that we're all stuck at home
and how we're supposed to impact people

Sometimes I dream of my future
and imagine what my life will look like
years and years from now
and these fantasies are so happy
that it hurts to think of them
because I have to wait for them
to become realities
