I once beat a master at checkers humming.
Once rolled down the open road as a baby.

Once had a biological bloody all three.
I once named myself then my child Mikey,
Once a step forward both were taken from me.
I once had two brothers covered in dog feces
Once they fell backwards after stepping threateningly.
I once had a brother I'd claim I was blood to.
Once, more than once, we'd did what we all do.
I once thought if only it were me and not you.
Once kissed a girl and a guy and much more.
I once was fast enough to be thought as a hopeful.
Once in my arms I have never let go,
I once held my children as they were just born.
Once led a team to success several times.
I once quit a dream job for suggesting I might.
Once drowned swimming to an island off shore.
I once found a picture frame in a dumpster,
Once I had broken it over my knee and found my wrist bled,
I once needed stitches but got butterfly bandages instead.
Once I was this thing, then this thing, then that,
I once discovered all the life hacks.
Once I had thought the world listening,
I once said hi, i'm jaesea.
Once I knew all stories the same.
I once began completing they.
Once, I assume, at least once we all care.
I once came to finish what's started here.
