Adulting In Infancy

Now that we're kids again

Back to the past

Far past the post of infancy

Where days were sunshine bliss

On a rollercoaster ride

& weekends

were a sensation of dreams

Licked to reality

As the magic wand.


"Lollipop!"


Filters through the gaps

Back to the handy-shop

Life un-buckles

It's shackles

Down the riverbed

Where a rainbow 

Speak's peace

Off the tear drops

That scatter the paper.


Stories!


There hope is reimbursed

To life

Off it comes

Far past the fairytale

That comfort the pillow late nights

& talks the body into inaction

Where fear is home

In adulting 

Doubt as the re-enforcer.
