my current memories of summercamp
are such i know i didn‛t like it
i recall feeling uneasy in a way
that i have not felt too much since those days
in the pool, in a canoe, or on a horse
i always felt a bit left out except when building forts
where i could be alone or with a couple of my buds
we could just have fun and not worry about other junk
maybe i was a weird kid
though not too much has changed since then
i still have very few friends
it‛s more by choice than anything
and then there is the day i had forgotten for so long
robbie and i tossing a frisbee out on the lawn
may have been the wind or a weak arm caused it to stray
by the feet of some older kid it lay
he bent to pick it up, and i jumped on his back
i don‛t know what possessed me to react like that
initially he was just trying to help out
instead he punched me in the mouth
