#952 spaceships and birthday cards

I’m taking a spaceship

back to childhood

Where kissing kites was real

And the top of the fridge was a distant galaxy

I'm taking a spaceship

Preparing for take off to Planet Kid

Where crunching garden-carrots and their dirt was adventure

And dreading a full mailbox was something he swore he’d never do

I'm taking a spaceship

Leaving behind this stratos-fear

Back to the land of age-specific birthday cards for every year

To where adhesive strips and a mother’s hugs could fix the world’s problems
