Down south, there was always someplace else to go

you could step out into the rain and

Grandma would let you

lift your head and stick out your tongue

be happy.

Down south already feels like a long time ago

but the stories in my head

take me back there, set me down in Daddy’s garden

where the sun is always shining.

another way

While our friends are watching TV or playing outside,

we are in our house, knowing that begging our mother

to turn the television on is useless, begging her for

ten minutes outside will only mean her saying,

No. Saying,

You can run wild with your friends anytime. Today

I want you to find another way to play.
