Folly

On the way
To Folly
Early morn
Awaiting
The sand
And surf
The one time
I was allowed
To go without
A cane
Without braces
My feet
Could breathe
Toes in sand
Wind in hair
Sun in face
Relish those days
I got to be
Free
I soon
Traded in
The cane
For a pump
That made
External marks
But internally
Let me live
Not exist
