spit it out

something never

whenever you want comes out

to say

just inside

your brain

sits

the word and

another

up and up

swell

whatever

gets bigger

it is

cant figure

you it

out

agh.

never mind

you don't have to say it.

they can see it in your face.

I promise

playtime

in the day you can find me swimming

with mermaids and pirates and fishing

in the night i'll be out flying

with the planets and on the stars i'll be wishing.

if the pavement is wet, i'm sailing far

my boat crashes down in the gutter

if it is hot and you smell the tar

i'm bathing in the freedom of summer

until now i wanted you with me

but then i didn't know who

now that i know and now that i'm ready

i hope you'll bathe with me too
