Peanut butter and jelly anecdotes
with the leftover residue of a milk mustache.
Playing freeze tag
     playing hide 'n' seek,
every impulse carrying onto the next.

fresh sensations of
splashing in the puddles just past the house and
carving terrifying expressions into ripe pumpkins.

Innocence meets bliss
     combined with a synchronized simplicity,
life just began
     a full life to discover,
uncover
     turn around again.

Sugar coated resolutions
solutions
to the math,
     two plus two equals four
easiness just like the rest.

I awaken, and the day is slowly unfolding.

Away from the
hopscotch,
away from the
fantastic afternoons of
lemonade stands and
sticky sweet fingers.

Onto larger, almost uncertain things.
It is difficult to begin again.
