Never dismiss creativity

Maybe this should be a story,
  but I am telling it.

So anyway,
  older brother,
  he can come up with some stuff.

Scavenged bamboo,
   garbage bags,
     and a lot of duct tape.

We have a hang glider.

We also have a father coming home,
   son getting ready to try it out,
    ready to fly from the top of the garage,
       the driveway he is pulling into.

i see some deeper meaning in this one....the father who shows little belief in what the son can do....

i felt that growing up...

and so we try even harder to prove ourselves to him....even at the risk of hurting ourselves to do it.

and sometimes in our youth, we feel our lives are held together by duct tape...and we are so close to throwing our lives into the garbage because we feel not good enough.

I can see that. This is a story best told in person. My brothers and I were a bit unique? When a 12 year old can design a high line with a piece of rope, and the handlebars and front rim from a bicycle, yeah. I just did well in math, and occasional creativity!
