ROLLER SKATES


In a green and white gingham dress,
On beloved streets in Chicago on
noisy roller skates, I flew.
I forgot girls dressed like girls, back 
when.......
It was acceptable to be a girl, to be
pretty.
Boys did not wear jeans in that long
ago.
At least.... not in the city,

Movies were so clean, you did not
need a parent there.
I forgot we actually wore real shoes.
Nobody complained, and we polished
them with great pride, oh my.
Nobody had purple or green hair.

We went to Confession each Friday.
Church carnivals were just lovely.
We listened to music and stories on
the radio.
And music was about love and your
country.

We were not prisoners, hurrah.
We knew how to call our friends.
These one line emails?
Give me a break....
I feel very out of place in this world.

Where is everyone going?
Under lockdown and will get worse.
Sometimes, I think we live under a 
Hateful curse!

As if social networking can replace
the human voice and face.
Worse now, with children wearing
diapers on their face.

Get wings on your feet and to freedom
Do fly!
High, high, above this world ...
So bleak, you owe this to yourself.
Do not let laws, keep you on a 
grotesque, humanoid shelf!
