The philosopher at home
The philosopher at home
All day I think about so many things: Inventing ways to climb the garden wall, And what to be, and. where to go, and. then Deciding if I want to be grown-up, at all, | |
That when it's night, and. I've gone up to bed., I'm very tired. with thinking thoughts so deep, And. so I fold. my arms above my head. And push them back, to make a space to sleep. | |
