Playing with Legos
Because Yesterday is Immortal


You just want to swing life away on that little porch,
forever,
and forget the world.
But you can't do that, dearest.
That's why they write songs about it –
so we can dream.
I wish we could,
just forget the world –
I don't want to go anywhere;
I just would be so happy
If everything stayed the same,
And there were no cares
Growing up sucks
Delay it as long as possible
And you'll be happier
Just be sure
Not to draw inward,
And become self-destructive by it.
What I mean
is not search for new responsibility,
and not try to act like an adult.
Act like yourself!
There's only one time to be a kid,
And mine just ended a month ago.
I want it back!
I remember,
When I used to play Legos all day long
In my basement,
Not a care in the world
Just me,
Unlimited spaces of time,
And Sir Arthur's band of chivalrous knights
Going around my Lego world saving people,
And doing good deeds.
Oh how I miss good Sir Arthur.
My friend Bruce still plays with Legos.
I love being in his little room,
Playing Legos with him
It reminds me of everything I miss
So much,
Of not having to care,
Or make decisions.
People think I'm so crazy when
I say that I love playing Legos.
Then I ask them
Do you work 50-60 hours a week during summer?
Do you have to mediate a
Debate
Between your parents?
Do you have to balance
Politics
In work?
Do you have to balance
Politics
On a newspaper staff?
Are you the only person besides the Management
Your boss trusts,
And so therefore are leaned on?
Do you have to closeread everything
Your father's
Side
Of the family
Sends you for jabs at yourself and
Your mother,
And Attempts to manipulate you?
Because that's just
A fraction of what lies ahead of you
LIVE IN THE NOW
GRASP AHOLD OF EVERY
OPPORTUNITY
YOU CAN
AND DON'T THINK ABOUT TOMORROW
AND NEVER FORGET YESTERDAY
BECAUSE YESTERDAY IS IMMORTAL
