My mind electric
My heart lush.
Empty hands but
Passport and toothbrush.
Out the back
At light of dawn,
Hopscotch the fence,
Down the neighbor's lawn.
Running, scuttling
On the slippery grass
I tumble, impatient
To see you at last.
Plenty of time,
But my feet go go go,
For I can't wait to see you
And my heart races so.
