Remember when we
had lain in the street, daring cars to
try and know us with their rubber wheels
and bellies of steel?
They'd claim us as dead.
Remember when you
lit a fire in your bed
hoping to burn alive instead
of hanging someday?
You thought you'd live a little longer.
Remember when I
refused the right to speak
wanting people to guess around my tongue-in-cheek
to discover and uncover me?
I became a walking jigsaw puzzle.
Remember when we
had not seen the lights of our own eyes,
sparkling like stars in the endless skies
with a quick glance up?
Make sure the sky wasn't falling.
And suddenly, we remember everything!
