I’m playing in the park

A rose red slide

A sky blue slide

A grassy green monkey bars

A bruise purple swing

And a forgetful parent

I run around playing my little games

Tag

Monkey on the wood chips

Four Square

Kick-his-balls

And Forgetful parent

Playing those silly little hand games

Apple apple open open

Rock Paper Scissor

Cat’s Cradle

Red hands

Hit the child

And Forgetful parents

Forgetful Parents

Where are they?

The grassy landscape begins to peel away

To reveal

White padded walls

The child I was playing with

Turns into

A man with a clipboard and pills

My once free hands

Are now bound to my body

I yell 2 words

“FORGETFUL PARENTS!”

Tears fall

As pill fall into my throat

My body goes numb

They are still watching me

My forgetful parents
