To feel like
I’m a kid again
Hanging out in my house
The sanctuary that I dreamed up
As if my mom or dad
Would come around the corner
To surprise me to tease me
To feel again like I did
As a kid
Taking my socks off
On the couch
Pushing my bare feet
In between the cushions
Old tv shows returning me back
To the place where I can
Pretend that I’m on the divan
That I was on so many times
Before when I was young
Kool-aid in wine glasses
Fantasizing the future
I created the space how can I
Have it again in this
Grown up body
When I was there I looked ahead
Here I am now looking back
In this grown up life
I want to feel the freedom
That I did as a kid
As the adult that I am
Now somehow
