We toss a ball between

Us, the world our toy.

You laugh, your legs

High as you swing, I laugh and try

To grab your foot as constellations

Wheel across the sky

Chasing racing clouds.

Later we line up all the animals and

Give them better names, and

Fix everyone’s life

(Ours are perfect already).

You smile and the sun beams down.

I laugh and a cleansing river flows at our feet.

Birds sing all around.

You throw me down on the grass.

Laughing I look up,

A rainbow framing your face.

A grasshopper lands on my nose.

I laugh again and hug your knees,

Then standing touch your cheek.

It feels soft and electrically charged.

We say goodbye.

I go home to clean my room.

You go home to do your homework.

We go to bed,

Dream dreams,

Smile.
