Playhouse
I want to see what my old-dusty playhouse looks like.
It has been kept forever in the attic – it’s a 90’s childlike!
It’ll be such a delight to travel three decades backward.
But those were my years back when I kept looking forward.
I cared about nothing but dillydally games all day.
I liked to act mature because I was good at role-play!
My fellow kids did funny chores and I thought they were good.
They sliced grasses and roots; they turned into food.
The whole day was short to talk about lies with excitement.
There was pure joy in our eyes – it was such fulfillment.
I thought of that playhouse as a wistful piece of my life.
Those little memories inside will still live in my afterlife.
