Tahoe From Above

If you could only see me now Mama!

In this nice Gallery, I even write in smooth cursive,

And spell ok, no more of that ADHD like before

When I nailed old roller skates

To a board and oiled the wheels

No plolycarbon coated plywood

But rusty ball bearings and 2X4s

If the neighbor kid stole it

No big deal just make another

Balancing took no instructions

In the old ADHD times

And well into the Roller-Blade era

Until painful lumbar-torc stress

And swollen elbow landing…

But Mama I’m ok… and I can talk to people now!
