learning early not to fly

they’re not all winners

my thoughts, my decisions

I think ninety percent and do ten

still too oft there’s a disconnect 

‘tween envisioning and execution 

like the clay whale I made

in fifth grade I keep in a box

most thoughts I never voice

skirting the wall for crumbs 

is safer than foraying 

for cheese on the table 


“…to the girl with the mousy hair…” ~ Life on Mars, David Bowie
