All my life I've looked at words as if I were seeing them for the first time. ~Ernest Hemingway


Getting HIGH meant swinging on a swing?
The worst thing you could get from a boy was cooties?
‘M 0 M!’ (Was your hero)
And DaD was the guy you were going to marry?
When your worst enemies were your siblings?
And race issues were about who ran the fastest?
When —war— was a card game.
And when LIFE was the game you played?
When everything was carefree and beautiful to your clear eyes?
Remember when all you wanted to do was

Grow up?
