A macaroni house Broken shell pieces Covered in powdered cheese Making the best of uncertainty Would there be any For tomorrow? Maybe If we can find change
Running away every week The park out back Behind the rickety fence The escape! Strange lands to explore Pine cone treats to eat Mud pies and sticks Fresh air and itchy grass
Playing restaurant Imagining something To give Serving up macaroni And cheese Our pretending away From our broke In so many ways...home
Growing up we were poor financially but rich in other ways.
