getting to know you

i dont know how to dress
the idea of you makes me nervous
sitting beside me
and i barely know your name

laughing, joking, conversing
getting to know you
slightly

(its about a boy at school. and i wrote this right before class the other day)

The Playground

Recess
yellow monkey bars
the perfect width
for my hands and my hips
to do pullovers and back hip circles
"show off" they scream
as i easily flip my body over the bar
I jump down landing lightly on my feet
while tears start to form in my eyes

Lunch
blue rings
i flip myself up to the top
onto the wood holding them
"Grounders!" you yell
blindingly feeling out in front of you
you cant tag me, cant reach me
and suddenly there is a new rule
i cant use my strengths to my advantage
