Written for Poetic Bloomings "memoir project." Received a bloom for this one :-)
CRASH
COURSE
When
I turned fourteen
The
Earth skidded on its axis
Went
into an uncontrollable spin
For
eleven years that followed
When
my world would end
It
would be resuscitated
By
a smile, a look, a hint of promise
Trivial
nothings – everything
When
the spinning stopped
I
thought that I finally died
Instead
I saw my life right next to me
Waiting
patiently to be lived
Live
for the Love of it,
The
Happy Amateur
