Maybe If . . .

maybe if you . . .
     found boogeyman faces in sailing skies – 
     splashed in every single mud puddle anyway – 
     cried during Hallmark commercials –

maybe if you . . .
      ever marveled at the creativity of every cockamamy excuse
            you ever heard –
      died just a little when one more day passed without – 
      sat in the sand until incoming tide knocked you over . . .

maybe . . .

you might find me.
