jumping on a sidewalk crack
I used to jump on sidewalk cracks
when I was angry with my mother
which was a lot of the time
I spent my childhood
feeling enraged
feeling less than
feeling like the one who was not the favorite
for I was not
never became the favorite either
to this day I will jump hard on a crack
hoping to break my mother’s back
