Like I'm Six

You inspire me to play

To spell out poems with Skittles and M&M's

Write serious drama for Barbie dolls

Wear camouflage with black velvet and pearls

Copy my hairstyles from the paintings of Vermeer

Sculpt the Nashville skyline from Play-Doh

To forget those idiots that tell me I can't

And just act like I'm six

To tap into the artist in my inner child

So, I'll wear that glass hat

Just because it's pretty

And walk carefully to not bump my head


Author's Notes/Comments: 

This was inspired by an artist called Vik Muniz. He's a clever, playful chap who paints Freud with Bosco and Medusa in spaghetti. He also did self portraits in little toys (like toy soldiers and cars). http://www.vikmuniz.net/main.html
