A Child's Eyes MAG
March 31, 2010
You see the taxi, papier-mâchéd with ads
She sees a magically oversized yellow bug
You see the sidewalk cracks and abandoned shoes
She sees a canyon and a cowboy's lost boots
You see the morning commuters' furious faces in traffic
She sees the mismatched puzzle pieces, cars not yet lined up
You see a caged lion, starved behind its zoo prison bars
She sees the land of Africa, a vast desert stretched to the horizon
You see the night, with its creepy shadows and dark hallways
And she wishes to stay up past bedtime and just once ignore the night-light.
