Girl in the fuscia raincoat
twirling at the top of the playground hill…
Round and round, eyes closed
(fully in the moment), until
he advances up the slope
guns blazing.
Fists clenched, you
stand your ground and
force his retreat.
Warrior princess of the school yard
you spin around again,
a vision of victory
while your pastel clad playmates
run screaming
for a teacher.
