I remember
backyard tents
and "camping"
I remember
fresh-churned
peach ice cream
I remember
playing hopscotch
and four-square
I remember
falling asleep
to the sound of my parents talking
I remember
wondering
where all the trains were going
I remember
being scared
at the funeral home
I do not ever remember
feeling smart
capable
strong
resilient
But here I am
so I must have been
