—The Playground
Sitting on a swing
on a dark and rainy morning
before school
in a coat two sizes
too big
Kids from every class
run past
they run to get out of the rain
run not to be late
run while they hate
Look,
so weird
sitting on a swing
in the rain
in a coat that doesn’t
fit
What matters
is just out of reach
for every kid
who must go once more
into the breach
broken, ruptured, torn
On every day
that doesn’t fit
on every playground
ever after
remembering every face
that runs past
at last
in you go
your whole life
