Plunge
It had been so long
since I’d done this,
but they were egging me on…
Peers are motivating, sometimes helpful
they give you courage
but mostly it’s good times and playful.
Okay, ok, I’ll do it, I’ll do it
Take a breath, take a plunge, let go
Exhilaration, motion, ouch!… Now pain go away.
Well, that’s the last time I’ll listen
to you peers of wisdom. No, no.
Why make a playground slide out of wood anyway?
