Raincheck Renewed | poems

You're sensible, I'm not
That's something we've got

One of us knows how to say No
Waiting to see how things will go

One dives flailing into the river
Be it slow, or hurtling past

One stands back in the shallows
Where there are reeds to grasp

Will I float?

Either way, catch me now
Before I'm gone.
