Time Travel

Falling back is the good one dark on the way to school Took the day off Thursday missed the shooting, but I know who carries a gun there Children do not find it odd to evacuate or build barricades in the blood My opinion is well informed by observations I would rather not see There is no strategy to go to the places I go the no strategy way I know most of the decisions made are not mine Children have double lives and are mysteries to themselves If you know one their entire life you will know more than one person Fourth grade is where I would place the boundary for myself There was a time my daughter spoke better Serbian than me We walked one day and her question waited for Baba's translation Consigned that they will never know that person What makes us special is our extended childhood We travel in time with someone lost in time The people most important to me are only left here with me He returned fire and the juvenile went running off Reading a headline calculating the value of t...
