No I Am Not.
by Mark Johnson

I like to go to the park sometimes
and swing on the swings
for hours and hours.
People look at me as if Im crazy.
Thats probably because Im crazy.
But not because I swing,
merely because I am.
The sign specifically says
that the playground is for
ages five to twelve
Im not five, nor am I twelve.
Im fifteen or so,
but for all they know
Im thirty-five and insane.
I might want to harm their
precious little children.
Their miracles, their lifes work.
It seems like I might.
Unfortunately for them,
all I want is to swing.
