Autoplay

this is the dream childhood
to play endlessly during
eternal summer days
to barefoot explore
get indifferent dirty
delight in adventures
imagination interacting
with internalized nature
swimming carefree days
like an otter orbits waters
leaping from bank to streams
surface to depth wonders
before adulthood responsibilities
cage close opportunity windows
