Exercising An Imaginary Muscle

I grew wings before
I stood.

I learned everything I could
and remembered nothing.

instead of leaning in.
I hung out

I made a wrong turn 
for the right reason.

I looked into the future
before I visited warby parker.

voiced an opinion, 
but did not speak my mind.

I made it out of adolescence 
alive.

I made believe 
I had it made.

I had hard feelings only 
a geologist would recognize.

I parted the air
with bad words

in my house I held ice cubes
hostage every summer.

climbed over several 
vowels to get here.

mauled a month of memories.
and made pee under a full moon

and then
I made this up.
