Please

Swinging your legs off the bed in the doctor's office
Just like you were swinging your legs on the swingset six years ago
The nurse accidentally pops your vein
Like you used to pop your bubblegum
Car rides full of silence and anticipation and sighs
Instead of music and laughter and smirks
Why did you want to grow up?
Please,
Why did you want to grow up?
