we decide

the scrape
on the knee early on
in life,
an elbow bruised,
a chin cut,
falling to the pavement
after
running,
or wheeling along on
a board.
the bike tilted over
to the side,
a tree branch
that won't hold your weight.
this tells you
early on
that much of life
is risk,
and most is from what
you decide, alone,
to undertake.
