To-day I was a child
listening to the plans and schemes of my friends
as they looked towards the future
with wide bright eyes
of things that we only spoke of as children
as we only imagined what it would be like
eager to know what sensational
joyous
and intricate
events would captivate us as we inhabited
bodies that would only offer glimpses
of a world we once had
now in a world we had not chosen
in bodies we had not designed
coming to points where things aligned
where as lines they misaligned
and To-day I was a child
to know all this
as I wanted to be left behind
having had only
 love affairs with things
children love to do.
