Lose It

what does it feel like to lose it?

does it feel like when you were little and on the playground
swinging from monkey bars with the other kids
pretending the wood chips were fire
and your hands began to ache and sweat
and then you started to slip?

or does it compare to loosing your first tooth
after biting into an apple, or a piece of toast
that sense of victory
and becoming of oneself?

maybe its like going on vacation
and knowing you forgot your toothbrush when your on the plane?
...
like climbing out of your window at night
and taking a long walk without shoes on
...
like sledding down the biggest hill into traffic
...
or eating the cookie dough with raw eggs




i think i am losing it.
