Over It

I used to build 
ramps 
with bricks and plywood
and I soared over 
things on my blue mountain 
bike. Don't you remember
love, how it feels to fear
only what we do not understand? 
And when you're 11 you understand 
most of everything:
How to jump off swings
climb trees
catch bugs.
It seems the only thing I catch
lately 
is that wicked thought
of catching my breath 
as I brave that ramp 
over things.
