“Peter Pan”
decked out
in nautical trunks
his goggles
suctioned to his head
this pint-size pirate
was unafraid
to walk the plank
he’d stand
at the edge
and clap his hands together
prayerlike
and raise them up
arrowed over his head
not out like Superman
once his form
was just right
he’d plop on in
and go
and do it
all over again
