Graduation
They sat on the
living room floor
and opened up wide
their toy box heads.
Sharing secrets
and puzzles and games,
and toys of endless
charm and wonder,
whispering and shouting,
talking and laughing,
until their cheeks
were wet with tears,
faces aching from smiles.
They danced and sang until,
as children often do,
they wandered off
in search of more adventure.
After a while,
they came to a place
where most everything
was Real Business
and Taken Very Seriously.
Realizing they did not
know the way back,
they clung together
for a time.
After a while in this place,
they learned it’s ways,
as children often do.
Being embarrassed
by the way they had acted
in the before time,
they could not
look each other
in the eye
ever again.
- Lord David
"Adults are just obsolete children and the hell with them."
