when we were young, we paid
the rarest
attention to fallen
band-aids and shifting
memories. we invaded
craftiness and invented fledgling
desires, heaping each and every
experience haphazardly
onto our ancestor’s
rusty scale, juxtaposed
by a blind but deliberate
thumb. we often leaned towards
the sun while propositioning
the moon. and though we have always
been young, back then,
we were preservation young
.
