A Happy Rebellion

I will not fib

it bubbles up

irrepressible 

   and giddy

   effervescence 

   that glides

                  up

         up

up

to emanate

impatience with

a trounce

from every pore 

like nectar

attracting 

the trills

and chirps

to burst forth

almost a hiccup

in its nervous

eagerness 

to be revealed

a booming 

  raawwwwwr

in the soul

uninhibited

no regrets

taken prisoner.

Today

I try 

a mighty

YAWP!

    thank you, Robin

and Oh, Captain

my spirit first 

discovered 

in that self-same

moment, could it

be that 

easy

and dare it

be that grand?

Yes!

 Yes!

   and YES!!!

Our youth 

gave us 

the audacity

to float

a foot above

the air

we are to blame

in what we

deemed worthy

barter

for our lightness

of being.

What could

be that

precious?

   I scour 

   my memory

   and come up

   empty

   each attempt 

   at contrition

   another 

   stone weight

Inspite 

of harm dealt

joy is almost

naive

and forgetful

   tickling

my weary gut

at the most

inopportune

moments

    Viola!

     The pesky

      bubbles

     and their

    adamant

                   e

               s
