Pills are scattered but your floors are not
cherry red hardwood like I told you I
always wanted so my toes will take on
the obstacles because my mother
always said to keep them trimmed and
polished but I don’t think the blue
hue will match my pills and I was never
good at the balance beam but I
always tried I always tried I didn’t
want to quit but the pills seem to help
so I’ll pick them up one at a time and
I’ll wish the floors were cherry red
but we never had the time never enough
time to learn the backwards handsprings
but my toes look nice and I wonder
if I’ll ever find the right shade of red to
match my cheeks when you take
away hobby after hobby maybe picking
up pills could buy me some time
