I think we are gonna be friends

Whatever happened to running around in circles?

Energy overflowing like water in a cannonballed pool

the happiest you ever felt

was springing back and forth over a jet of water meant to water a lawn, greener than the salty ocean and brighter than a smiling face

Allergy bumps, skinned knees, knotted heads, scabs, scrapes, bruises, and scars.

Testimonials of fun and fun themselves.

An entire day poking rolly-polies and climbing impossible mountains

Playing in the invisible kingdom of maypretend

and humming to yourself the themesong of your favorite cartoon

while driving a race car along the wall.
