Bowling Alley Kid

endless supply of coloring sheets

thick, dark lines making the shapes of my newest choice

just begging me to go outside them

daring me

but i hold back

because perfection is what i crave

gather every color of the rainbow

don't go outside the lines

color every picture

that i can

till bowling is over

and mom comes to claim us

Author's Notes/Comments: 

when my mom was in a bowling league, my sister and i became habitants of the bowling alley nursery
