Tag.
I was looking through my old visual journals and notebooks the other night and I ran across a poem that I wrote several years ago. For some reason (despite it's crappiness) it just really stuck to me. So I thought I would post it. Keep in mind that I wrote this way back in my early high school days. AKA before I learned how to write...or at least how to attempt to.
Flashlight tag.
Flag tag.
Freeze tag,
tagged and you're the enemy
tag.
Kiss in the rain tag.
Tagging so much
that you think you can't
tag anymore,
the second when your hand
touches a shoulder tag,
and the two bodies connect for
one solitary moment
of your life--
knowing that you may never
tag that person again tag,
the next step you take
you're older
but when you stop to
think about it
you're older than
that second you thought about tag.
Goodnight tag.
Toothbrush tag.
Eyes and eyelids tag.
AND finally
the eternal tag.
Flashlight tag.
Flag tag.
Freeze tag,
tagged and you're the enemy
tag.
Kiss in the rain tag.
Tagging so much
that you think you can't
tag anymore,
the second when your hand
touches a shoulder tag,
