Sensory Confusion- DRAFT

***Playing with little kids has taught me one thing these past few months, adults are too rational. We want cows to eat green grass and walk slowly instead of fly, shoes belong on our feet and not our hands, and monsters don't belong in Po's antenna. Are you confused?***

I gulp one last look at the playscape sailing by
tasting the creativity of our games one last time
the magical ability of the slide to transform into an airplane safety chute
or the trunk of an elephant during our safaris in Africa.

My feet still hear the vibrating mulch
as it shifted under our galloping feet
releasing the metallic scent of blood from our scraped knees
as it pulled tears out of our eyes to water the grass beneath.

eh.. maybe i'll finish this later. Maybe not.
