The low sitting branch
the tall tree and us, the kids climbing it
danger alert and deafness by choice
that's childhood
having a fit and scolding
that's parenthood
however, we did perch on the branch
I even walked it as a tightrope walker
until my Mom saw me
it seemed to impress my more cautious friends
those danger alert-scared ones
yes, those I-dare-not wise friends
were they impressed or waiting for me to fall?
was it awe or disappointment I saw in their eyes?
after all I both broke the rules and lived
