The Banana Peel Project

let's build a playhouse
a structure
with strong supports and trampolines
with swings and long ladders
where we can climb and dance

let's build a playhouse
with lots of layers
so we can look at each other
from dizzying depths
and surprising heights

let's build a playhouse
where you're a pirate and i'm a princess
where dragons are born
where tigers prance
where gods and wizards smile at the sun

it's a playhouse
it's not the world
i'll try not to forget
that it's just a structure
so that we can play until the sun comes up
and a long time later, too

let's build a playhouse
made of words and flesh
 plastic and leather
 chemicals and wishes
let's build a palace
made of lasers and kisses
