Birch and Blocks

Let's

Play

pick

the 

thick

Sears Catalog

stretched open

across

our legs

as our frantic fingers

laid claim

to outfit

furnishings

and fine china

fantasies

Let's

play

blocks

bits and bops

and tippy

tops

ferreted

home

from the furniture factory

to the bouncy

green 

pile

strewn across

our landscape

of legs

Let's play

Narnia

take chase

down the chasm

to the creek

where the cat

and the cow

swallow

maple leaves

and

clover

where the white

witch

birch

chase

our

last rays

of sun

from our childhood

days

Will you come out again

to play?
