we were little and

for Aaron, on his 30th birthday

we were little and
we could not walk and
we didn't play sports but

we were always up for
cowboys and indians or
a round of prison break

i'd slap his face
i'd scream where's my gold
he'd giggle

he'd ask how
come you always ask
where's my gold

there was no gold
not that kind of gold but
there too was gold

we were little and
we are big
