i will redeem myself

i'm looking into the sun, and these two days will leave my face brown and smiling week ends are the only endings i like a soul splinter of jesus meanders past traffic to school walking and waving, everyone's greeting behind his teeth grocery bag full of food and a upturned thumb goodwill and goodfortune everyman's boy, every mom's favourite, goldenchild, every peer's best friend and he's all ours we should know our luck he knows everyone's name 56 days
