Before You Could Write.

Can you remember a time when dew made a sponge of the grass beneath your feet; and the dandelions were playthings...and the long druuuuuuuuummmmmmmm of planes overhead made light of your senses? Do you remember a time when you remembered strange dreams upon waking and hurried to catch your favorite television program; begging for popsicles on hot and sticky summer days? Do you remember? Do you remember the intrigue of Christmas morning...the smell of pine needles etching their way through a season of immaculate fortune...peering around corners for lost ones in games of hide-and-seek? Do you remember loathing twilight and picking up sneakers to try them on before your parents bought them? Waking before sunlight? Licking syrup from your lips? Resting your chin upon your forearms for the sake of a daydream? Wanting to make someone proud?

Scribbling unfamiliar words on paper...before...you...could...write?
