to become ourselves

i don’t know if it was just
the innocence of our age and our times
along with watching the original Peter Pan,
we all had capes, some
just less visible than others
but we were all invincible
and when our teacher sent the note home
to our parents
to explain to us, that we must stop
jumping off the classroom tables and chairs,
because
we could not fly…

that did not stop us
we were destined…
to become ourselves :)
