I was the youth and you were the age
yet I was the wisdom somehow
as we met between these middle days.
a hand on my waist, a grin on my face.
we were not meant to be this way.
Do you feel how it's lighter then we think.
density has no place here.

freckled face, surpress the gas emmiting from your skin.
Wear your childhood baseball cap
don't let it catch in the wind.
The scent...
It's making me cough.
supress it.
package it in a box.
decorate the outside.
do what you like, besides the usual.
the practical is a famished mind and pink, pink rubber gun.
start the water fight.
prepare to enter through the glowing doorway.
prepare yourself.

Yes, it does remind me of my childhood days. Such an overpowering feeling. Thank you for this. I really liked it.

You know what's strange. as I wrote this. I wasn't even sure what it was about. and now I know. Its about come of age in this world, its about never losing the child in you.
