Why Think Like a Child
i.
What sense would it be
to see the world as a child?
ii.
pretend you are five ~ it is raining
you are bored so decide to make a drawing
of your breakfast
with brown you make pancakes
swimming in a blue maple syrup sea
in the sky the butter flies with fork wings
pretty as summer butterflies
you sail up to hook some pancakes
with your fishing pole
iii.
your family goes for a walk on a pretty Sunday
to the local duck pond
after lunch you lay down to rest and dream
you are on stilts walking across the marsh
who gets really angry at you for being on his back
he tries to buck you off
into the sky full of marshmallow clouds
You throw some gummy bears from your pocket
the bears roar loudly
and the marsh becomes mellow once again
iv.
it would make sense to see the world as a child ~
you could learn to problem solve creatively ~
