As a kid
I jumped on beds,
Ran across chairs,
And crawled under tables.
I explored jungles,
Danced with princes,
And fought in battles.
I hid in closets
And the occasional fridge.
Even under cars.
I jumped off monkey bars,
Twirled around light poles,
And chased after birds.
I raced the wind,
Climbed trees,
And gathered candy.
And now
I walk through fields,
Go around fences,
And gather berries.
I trek through puddles,
Turn around in chairs,
And chase down a cup of tea.
I hide behind books
And under covers.
Often behind a desk.
I explore archives,
Dance in clubs,
And fight for more time.
I jump on trains,
Walk down the street,
And crawl through stores.
And still today,
I feel like a kid.

And fight for more time.
I jump on trains,
Walk down the street,
And crawl through stores.
And still today,
I feel like a kid.
