a scrape and some

so i ran
and charged
while yelling
nonsense and
more.

intense.
intensely cold
intensely fast
intensely stupid
happy
and scared.

because i slid,
and then i glided.

but before i fell,
i flew across, and
unintentionally
threw
my body forth
while gravity
pulled me down
with a kiss
to its rules.

and a tumble,
and a roll,
i listened as
a laugh escaped.

i froze--
maybe because
it was too cold--
waiting for
the pain
that arrived
not too soon--
maybe because
it was too cold.

then i sighed
and watched
with unborn tears--
my knee with its
deathly color,
greener than white,
give away 
newly 
vacant pores
to little 
oozing
crimson dots--
as my breath
disappeared.
