i fell out, fell far, fell hard
from a tree
you dropped off
the monkey-bars
i stepped into the invitation
of a stranger’s car
you grabbed a wire. . . bare
i dove, with confidence, in shallow water
you took a dare
i stayed too long on a railway track
you found a hill and ‘jack & jill’ed’ your back
in fact
both you & i. . . at the same time
tried something new
i went green, you turned out blue
i remember too
crossing against the light
looked left, should’ve looked right
it’s amazing to me, that we’re able to say
no matter how many times you & i’ve died
‘we live another day’
