ONE DAY

One day 
all is well: 
the flowers are blooming, 
no dogs are nipping 
at your ankles 
as you ride your bike 
fast and hard. The wind is just right; 
your homework is done 
and there's no school tomorrow. 
The days last 
as long as 
you want them to.
Friends test and tease 
until the light dies out 
and the night games begin.
