excitement

a familiar taste
in my mouth
almost forgotten,
so linger longer,
will you?

————————

you taste
like rice candy
from my childhood
the first day I learned
to feel giddy

————————-

sun is out
air is fresh
legs are ready
let’s beat this path
shall we?

I wrote these poems above during the train ride this morning to the Autism Walk (Chicago Chapter), which I participated this morning and just finished. It was a 3-mile walk, but if I count the walk from the train station to Soldier Field and back, I think I walked about 6 miles. Now I’m left feeling exhausted to say the least, but I’m glad I did it.
