Playground
what did you mean,
when you built a playground
in the car park of your dreams
what did you say
when they came to stay
what did you do
when you built a playground
out of your missing clues
swings and a metal slide
make you dizzy inside
the playground you built
in the backyard of your hope
it has a tyre,
tied to an old piece of rope
what did you mean
when you found yourself,
on the softest clay
did you dare to dream
of those better days
