the training wheels
in place for so long
you have become numb
to insecurity
dumb, from having another
guide your soaring body
over the sidewalk
but it is time
the gauze removed
from the slashed finger
medications purged
from your ill body
it is time
for the training wheels
to be shed
to see for yourself
within the terrific dread
of falling of not falling
how you become a rocket
jettisoned into space
free then
in never quite knowing
