The Cornfield
once, long ago
a cornfield, tall against
my eight year old frame
green against
my tan summer face
the tassels, like
the crown of lady liberty
sprouted against
the puffs framed in blue
cloaking the universe
i stood, bike, small
against my eight year old
body, sat, held between
my legs, barefoot, a crust
of scab gracing my knee.
the corn bowed
paying homage
to the eight year old
prince i pretend to be.
slowly, as princes cast
aside the crown
i layed the bike down
wandering into the subjects
crowned with tassels
as lady liberty.
