Poem, "Rebound"

Pop, pop, pop.

I start to drop,

and my mind lights up

as I fall.

Bang, bam, boom.

Down to my doom

On to the next

go-around.

Whenever I plummit,


I bounce back quick,

even stronger than before.

No just laying there

like a Splat on the floor.

I am a rebound,

a trajectory traveled

at high speed.

I am the Seed

of my own future.
