she wasn't going home yet
rather, she was already there
for when the girl was with herself
she was as safe as she could be
most of the time, she slept lightly
but tonight, she slumbered deep
the boy with the checkered backpack
stepped on her toes in her sleep
when she awoke, her hair was tangled
dirt in her tresses, insects in her lungs
put on those blue overalls.
it'll all be okay again.
the girl in the blue overalls
was as safe as a girl could be
for when she was with herself,
she knew she was already home.
