talking of nothing but sweetcakes and milkshakes
in that space between sleep and awake
how certain you used to be of yourself
entering places with secret handshakes
folding sacred paper airplanes
how funny it was to have you on my floor
and we dress up in our play clothes
as parents would take our picture
where they'll hang em in their memories
so they can remember
from your mouth sweet sounds escape
wings shot out of your shoulder blades
how wonderful it must be to not be yourself
an actress replaced when mary got pregnant
allowing me to flow through her movements
how fun it must be to sing so loud
and we dress up in our fathers clothes
as kids would take our picture
where they'll hang em in our memories
so we can remember
