skipping rope

is the rope still for skipping if it's never jumped over?

as she would chew
on the ends
gnawing texture into play

and as she bit on the bits made for feet to hurdle over,
she only skipped
- in the blip -
that someone named as not the way

as rope can do much more
than skipping
her little toes - never tripping
she had a mind
for housing moonbeams
outside of function that is named

the rope could be a castle
or a necklace
or tie shoes
and in her corner of the playground
who's to tell her what is true?
