Flashlight Tag


Puberty had just begun insinuating its fascinations

Sparking daring acts of bravery
Like holding hands with one of my sister’s friends
Under the contrived cover of flashlight tag
As awkward as it was secret
And sweet as breakfast cereal
Better than television

Recalling the deep sweetness of simple(r) things helps me settle down and inhabit the goodness of this moment. Thanks, Alex, for receiving the intended gift.
