For Marta
Once there was Creativity
Long before legos came in premade sets
When refrigerator boxes became the best forts or spaceships
I went creek fishing with my pals for hours
Gone from sun up to sun down
You can overcome any hardship by imagining yourself past it
For us it was to leave a dead city, a road to adventure elsewhere
To explore woods said to be haunted
Or challenge the friends in all manner of games
I am sure of this one thing
We brought worry to our parents, and the discipline came down for it
But they loved us deeply despite our deeds
Once there was creativity in this world and we were happy for it
