remember the you that longed to see the top of the fridge
the mystery and magic in a place viewed by only adult eyes
occupied by only pens and change
remember the pinball machine in your stomach
as an adult hoisted you up, up in the air
and for precious seconds
you spied
the magic and the mystery
if you don't remember
try harder
for the sake of your self now
for the sake of your self then
for the sake of young people today
for beyond just pens and change
above the freezer exists,
all the mystery of childhood
