The swings.
Set in the exact
Middle of the
Playground.

The reccess bell rings.
I take off,
Out the door.
To the playground.

I get there first.
Everytime.
I get my favorite swing.

The blue one.
The blue one with
The rusting handles
That could snap

At any moment.

I jump on the swing,
and pump my legs.
Out, in.
Out, in.

I repeat.

I can never get higher
than a few feet.
My legs are tired.
I say to myself.

Push me!
Someone.
Please.
Push me.
