As A Kid

As a kid

I jumped on beds,

Ran across chairs,

And crawled under tables.

I explored jungles,

Danced with princes,

And fought in battles.

I hid in closets

And the occasional fridge.

Even under cars.

I jumped off monkey bars,

Twirled around light poles,

And chased after birds.

I raced the wind,

Climbed trees,

And gathered candy.

And now

I walk through fields,

Go around fences,

And gather berries.

I trek through puddles,

Turn around in chairs,

And chase down a cup of tea.

I hide behind books

And under covers.

Often behind a desk.

I explore archives,

Dance in clubs,

And fight for more time.

I jump on trains,

Walk down the street,

And crawl through stores.

And still today,

I feel like a kid.
