Accidents
I felt like a child
and so I started
playing hopscotch
down the road
it began to rain
so I yelled
let it flood
right through
to my bones
and continued playing
but this rain was strange
it was liquid
but all the water
that landed
on me stayed where
it landed and began
weighing me down
eventually there was
a tower of rainwater
looming above me
threatening to crash
down on all the people
on this road
all staring at me
but I feel like a child
and so I play
hopscotch
because I just
don’t know better
or that’s what they’re
all telling me
in a strange chant
over and over
ah
dult
ah
dult
ah
dult
maybe if I keep playing
the water will crash down
like a huge tidal wave
and soak them
through to their bones
