leap leap

jump jump

let the past be past

jump jump

the slam behind

is the closet for the nines

fines build

lines fluid

jump jump

the rope

jump jump

the broom

jump higher

higher flyer

on a billboard

off the closest exit

in the old closet

jump jump

the old days

playoff game

we lost.

we were barely playing,

showed up late

cussed each other out

finished strong

too not show up when it mattered most;

it’s not all you

i know the ball could have been better

not perfect, just better

we were never perfect

just humans

showing up each game

playing for our lives

lucky charms

the boy eats porridge

every morning

never deviates or wanders

never wonders about lucky charms

what is lucky charms doing tonight

who are they with

do they think about me

do they like almond milk or 2%.

never about orange juice

never letting guard down for apples

or other straggle fruits

almond milk or 2%

just porridge,

that’s good enough

refugee

fighting away

the urge to fight

just take a flight

find a home

made out of bricks

read about the licks

you missed

in a boat sailing away;

far away

that ain’t very fair

they made you mayor

now they call you traitor

blow your brains out with a lazer

and that wouldn’t phase her

found her drawn in crayons so i traced her

just so i can taste her

later
