Now here is a poem for your consideration:

Childish Things

house

hallway

lying on tummies

driving Barbies in shoe cars

along slippery black lined wood floors

 

sleepovers

zippers

burrowing inside fleecy sleeping bags

bright images of camping families with

tail wagging dogs

 

dining room table

blanket fort

flashlights bring

giggling ghosts

Archie comics

kiss Veronica

 

cats in the window

cats in the flower beds

cats on the tv

turn the channel knob

clunk, clunk, clunk

Indian chief at midnight

cats on my bed

 

45 records with

swirly plastic inserts

pink box player

paisley bell-bottoms

go-go dancing

singing our heads off

 

long, long, phone cord

pull it downstairs

pull it outside

gossip, gossip, gossip

Teen Beat magazine

he is so cute!

 

riding bikes

across the town

down to Dairy Queen

throw them on the grass

hot, hot day

frozen in time
