Let’s go fight dragons together
You and me
Go in your trashcan and take all the
Toilet paper rolls you can find
And we’ll go hunting
In cardboard forests
We’ll spend the day chasing after
Jabberwockys and Loraxes and
Heffalumps and
Just make sure to bring your rain boots
Because out there
It’s nothing but puddles
And cracks in the sidewalk
But you know, it’s the kind of things
That color your knees
Scraped and bruised
That are really worth doing
So carry an extra pack of Band-Aids in your pockets
Because one day we’ll hit the pavement when
We try to swing our swords too hard
But then
At least we’ll fall down together
And it’ll feel as if
The concrete was nothing but a patch of grass in your backyard
And we were just dizzy from the chocolate chip cookies
And your mom’s raspberry lemonade
And our stomachs
weren’t colored with that pink and purple,
Elmer’s glue, paper Valentine,
Recess
Kind of love.
