I fell

While running

Down hill

Gravity watched

Over there

And over there

Were people

Perhaps one girl saw

I’m not sure

It did hurt

I was hurt

I made my self stand

And looked at my

Hands and knees

Impressive and bloody

A million scrapes

But the sharp pain

Surprised me

I took myself

To mend

And told no one

Yet one by one

They came to see

Even my brother

How did they know

Unless

People merely pretend

Not to notice
