The Playground
A little girl spits on a scorching metal slide
It immediately bubbles into steam
An ice cream man hands a child a popsicle
After thirty years in IT, his work is finally appreciated
An overprotective mother straps a helmet to her son
It is not for him
It is for her
But he does not understand this yet
A nerd child examines a climbable geodesic dome
He’s never been a happier nerd child
The wind knocks a tablet computer out of a kid’s hand
But the wind was actually the smiling ghost of the jungle gym
…
IF YOU LEAN BACK AND CLOSE YOUR EYES ON THE SWINGS…
…IT FEELS EXACTLY LIKE A JOB INTERVIEW
…
Hair underwater looks like hair blowing in the wind in slow motion
