Imagine the Adventure II
when i was
5 years old,
i went on
many quests.
i had to
traverse a
rugged land
to find and
save
whoever was
in dire need
this time.
it started by
swinging along the
tops of trees,
competing with
the monkeys.
i would then
walk on
my tiptoes
across a vine
stretching between the
heads of
the tallest trees.
i slid down
rough trunks,
100 feet until
my legs
ached and
my feet finally
kissed the ground.
i saved
dozens of lives
that way.
i was injured
after i
plummeted off a vine,
trying to swing
farther than
my arms could reach.
i didn't save
anyone for a while,
but when i came back,
prepared to rescue
a few more
civilians.
my jungle was
destroyed.
so i sat with
my legs crossed
and ran my fingers
along the
stems of flowers
as they
hauled away
the last piece of
my jungle:
the monkey bars.
