We had a shed
in the backyard
with a doghouse
for a St. Bernard
There was a Mimosa tree
next to the shed
a young lad with dreams
climbing the mimosa tree
to the roof of the shed
a branch ran just so
I could Tarzan leap
and swing from the branch
to the ground
I thought I was Superman
or Jungle Boy
or my own incarnation
of a superhero
it was my fantasy
my Jawn before Jawn existed
I loved leaping from shed
to tree branch
down to ground
a true superhero
in my own imagination
And safely done
No broken limbs - good super hero technique.. bravo!
at least no broken limbs from
at least no broken limbs from leaping off the shed
