“(WHEN I WAS A CHILD) I was told that I was insane, seeing doctors in hospitals far away from home. LITTLE WHITE PILLS inside small transparent containers that could fit my baby teeth like seashells, I dreamed. WHEN I WAS A CHILD my mind made up things— not castles of sand, nor careless childish dreams. NOW I AM GROWN I can’t see myself anymore, behind walls of lights I painted on as a child. (BUT NOWADAYS) I cannot think back and wonder if these things ever really happened.” — Laura Chouette
(WHEN I WAS A CHILD)
I was told that I was insane,
seeing doctors in hospitals
far away from home.
LITTLE WHITE PILLS
inside small transparent containers
that could fit my baby teeth
like seashells, I dreamed.
WHEN I WAS A CHILD
my mind made up things—
not castles of sand,
nor careless childish dreams.
NOW I AM GROWN
I can’t see myself anymore,
behind walls of lights
I painted on as a child.
(BUT NOWADAYS)
I cannot think back and wonder
if these things ever really happened.
