Because I'm Too Busy
Location
I want to sit outside again
in overgrown grass
popping the heads off dandelions
and running away from bees
walk around on the dark beach
sand clinging to my ankles
a moon the only flashlight I need
swim so much I can feel the waves
sloshing through my dreams
carrying up the thoughts
I left in the sea
run through the playground
tripping on shoelaces
I haven't learned to tie
and let ice cream heal
the bruises on my knees
