two steps at a time

where once
you bounded up
two steps at a time
on a flight stairs,
leaping
over puddles in the road,
flinging
yourself over fences,
for no reason
but to get
to the other side,
you climbed trees
for the fun of it,
your head in the clouds.
well,
it's different now.
you find the rail and
go slow.
you take your time.
finally,
you're allowed.
