chalk lines mark out the world
of stores and cars little boys, little girls
paper hats, presents and candles
banana seats and monkey bar handles
one little boy or one little girl
a Picasso, Monet or a Mozart

nothing has changed
we’ve just re-arranged
our play things

swing sets fly to the moon
of tree forts and dandelion looms
sticks – a string, an arrow, a bow
paper planes, a soda volcano
one little boy or one little girl
a Brahms, an idol an Einstein

nothing has changed
we’ve just re-arranged
our play things

one little boy or one little girl
a waitress, a farmer, a poet

nothing has changed
we’ve just re-arranged
our play things
