enemies he used to make
calling out the big kids for their
disappreciation for the
time spent interpreting clouds
but staving off adulthood didn’t
go the way he planned.
I can’t spare the time
I’ve got too much work to do
It’s a pointless enterprise
Here kid please just take the string back
Self-addressed letters he wrote
reminding future selves of what he feels
and did not want to loose like
Most of the so called successful people
Now he’s one of them himself
Forgotten hypothetical adventures
Written in the thrown out letters
To make room for special papers
For the job to which he’s walking
Down the sidewalk where a little
Smiling kid gives him a string
Connected to a colorful kite
(I mean the kite)
Floating colors in the air
Beauty fun forever there
hold on tight
Floating colors
beautiful
