Standing on the playground
looking up at Shyanne
a fellow fifth-grader
staring down on me
Laughing in their revelation
just how tall they were
standing on the snowbank
looking down on the world
“Our feet are higher than the bus!”,
they pealed with such joy
sliding down to greet the day
heading off to school
