I miss being a child

I don't eat spechettios anymore even though they were my favorite as a kid

Every Sunday after church I'd sit and watch cartoons with a can in my lap

The metallic taste mixed with the soggy noodle spelling out words in my spoon

I used to try to tell the future in the letters
Spelling names of my future kids in the soup.

Using the back of my spoon as a crystal ball
Being a gypsy in my own living room
Recromancing pillows into castles and Dust bunnies into noble knights.

I am made of memories, and most of the time I forget who I once was.

There are no castles, only pillows.
There are no knights.
Only cobwebs and dust bunnies.
That is all.
