Yellow Roller Skates

crickets chirp

I stretch my aching body 

my mind races

they stop. 

thoughts continue to swirl

stagnant yet forever in motion

wading in black lagoons

I want to stop swimming.

twirling,

twirling is for children.

I should be mature now

An Adult

steadfast in yellow glides of roller skates in slow motion

sure footed, the ground flies with me

girls twirl

women fly

my mind swirls.

uncertainty, muffles with it’s clouded possibilities 

thoughts race to the finish line for emotional reactions.

affluence seems to pull further away 

in a sinking light blue scene.

gray with dull aches 

and temple throbs

my mind begs to stand still

to stay put. 

long enough to glide yellow roller skate streaks.
