It is cutting Neverland out of your heart
because you kept tripping over mermaids
on the way to the dentist.
It is amputating your imagination
because the dishes piled up
while you were out chasing dragons.
It is a living death of obligations met
and conversations that taste like dust
while fairyland’s door grows daily smaller.
It’s easy to never grow up
unless you like to eat
and warm places to sleep.
