always_free
inconnue we were
always free to roam
free to play
we were
never tied down by rules

i remember the first time
i burned my hand on the stove
i was always careful after that


i can remember
cooking oatmeal
when i was six years old
i can see the table and my big bowl
i can feel the light
coming through
the kitchen window
i remember
the buzzing street
noises of victoria

i used to play all day
sunrise to sundown

i was the queen of my castle
i was the dirty rascal

i remember running down
the street finding
a beach full of people
rolling in waves
i wished i had
a sand pail
i made a sculpture
in the wet sand

inconnue there was pizza for supper
neighbourhood kids sniffing glue
i loved the lights of the legislature

i remember the strange things

inconnue we were always free
whatever house we lived
it was always a free home
i was always a free kid

inconnue i remember waking up
when the morning light was talking loud
i'd get up out of bed and run downstairs
to watch tv i'd make breakfast
i liked eating from a big white bowl

slurping milk
i liked drinking the last bit
the last bit of milk left in the bowl
after the cereal was all gone

i'd run off
outside somewhere
be it a backyard or the_woods
i would find some way to have fun
i was in a constant state of play
my world was made out of toys

i was always free to roam
i was the queen of my castle
i was the dirty rascal
i was always free to be a kid
