something Silly
she feels like doing something Silly
so "how bout we tie our toes together with
sparkly twine
and try to
lick our Elbows?"
they knock their heads together
trying to get to the ends of the arms,
hanging feet and painted toes off
the Duvet covers
she says
"marnie, grab my leg and
break it so i can
get a cast.
it's fine i'll be fine
just perfect
aren't you excited about
signing it?
you have the prettiest signature"
she smiles and winces and can't
wait to see all the names of all
her Classmates scrawled across
the gray white plaster.
for two months it will be her Rainbow.
suddenly
OW
the break.
it hurts (? what. it wasn't supposed to be like this)
like Sharp and Dull and Pain and no more Twine
untie my toes
the need for silliness dissipates
and she finds she Regrets This
