Used to go to playparks On a grey day Skip through the barley-sugar gate Headlong into bright adventure. Pirate, mermaid, jungle explorer, even a grown-up- "I can be anyone I want to be...."
When I was young I wore all my selves Like ballgowns- Soft cotton naivety, glittering green mystery, Every facet a stitch Of the years, the beautiful influencing words.
