Slide made of silver, wobble and bend Rubber shoes squeak at the top with my friend (giggle) "Tu te souviens?" she said, eyes wide, all pretend Rust tasted like pennies, sky smelled like pens (pretend... pretend...) Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Back to where my laughter used to stay Through the chute of jelly jars and chalky ballet Past the monkey bar kings and the juicebox parade I slide to yesterday, no delay, no delay Hair full of woodchips and mystery bugs My tongue turned blue from forbidden slugs (gross!) I drew a door on the swing with invisible chalk (She whispered, "It opens when you hum and walk") Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! There’s a skip in my mind like a skipping CD Caught between hopscotch and my dad's old LP With a Hammond cloud and a wah-wah tree I'm back where I still believed in me "Can't tell if I'm dreamin'... or just rememberin'" Time bent the corners like storybook spines And gum-wrapped names became secret signs Was that my name carved deep in the gate? Or the last thing I made ‘fore it got too late? (La la-la, la la-la la...) (La la-la, la la-la la...) Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Mom yells, "Dinner!" but the echo won’t fade I hide in the sandbox, diggin' time with a spade Crayons in my pocket, truth under my braid I slide through a memory I made... I made... "Encore une fois? Oui... let's play..." "Petaline... c'était mon nom..."
