Notes About The Poem

Growing through play

Kids play barbies and kens.
Imagining grownup scenarios and inventing pretend realities.
Distorted interpretations of everyday life.

I remember making Barbie and Ken whisper to each other, so no one heard their secrets. But you are right, Line, as a child, all secrets seemed to eventually be shared.
