big kid's playground

The pond outside work, as a kid I remember playing in places just like this throughout the summer, it upsets me now that most (fortunately I do include my own) kids spend their summer holidays in front of a screen blowing up aliens with their bionic thumbs instead of using their imagination and the lands around their homes to make stories come to life.

An ode to a lost childhood

I'll show the scabs on my knees
watch out for the broken glass, put your shoes and socks on!
come along with me,
let's follow that fire truck,
I think your house is burning down
