When The Sidewalk Falls Through MAG
May 9, 2021
When the sidewalk falls through I scrape my knees.
My neighbor Polly has the chicken pox disease.
Do you think if I chase the number 18 I’ll grow faster?
Probably not, my elephant feet always cause disasters.
Have you ever looked into a puddle?
Their thoughts don’t make much sense, they’re too muddled.
It’s clear as day, I see it’s true.
These are the things that happen when the sidewalk falls through.

This poem is inspired by the book Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein. It's about falling in potholes and scraping your knees. Childish wishes of wanting to be eighteen. The reflections of puddles and childhood memories. ;)
