My hand hesitant as it hovers before my chest, Trickling beetle skins of paint to the garden, Gates, dripping and shedding minced tile slates, When I halt by the sidewalk, slip off my bike, Though inside their heads feel nothing close to dread. Paint strokes of my reflection beating by. To overhead, to every side as lustrous cars, Set on an evening of shades lighter than grayДЄn evening where my head moves from ground Of pulses in my legs, the swaying of my torso To skim my chest, I know that their abrasionД¬ounts on more than the donut circulation Jutting slightly against the thin, glossy fabric of my coat The jerks and shifts to avoid senseless puddles threading waves,ДЄnd promoting the slight saunter, delayed erosion On the spokes of my droplet-dotted bicycle in eveningвЂ™s rain, My movement, my legs gliding through circles Shriveled by their own means, the only pressure In the zipped cell set flat against my chest. They lick dryly against the polyester static The petals will be sand in my rain jacket pocket. When I looked down into my hands at the sunlight glinting off of the polished syrup colored acorns, I wonder if I counted them and thought about showing them to my friends, or if I imagined the leaf-wrapped acorns from Totoro, the dreams created on billowing white clouds and the buoyancy of flight. The dream took place in such a realistic recreation of a typical environment in my life that I could have believed it to be true.

I remember a dream I had in elementary school in which I floated in the hall between the music room and the cafeteria, hovering a few feet off of the ground.

When the tree reaches its full form, the girls cling to Totoro as he glides over the rice fields of the Japanese countryside.

In the movie My Neighbor Totoro, dreams and reality are interwoven when the Totoro gives two girls a wrapped gift of acorns which they plant and (with the help of Totoro) grow into the clear night sky peppered with puffy clouds. During recess, I would crouch on the wood chips and collect small pearly acorns that fell from the trees. Songs like 'Rain in the Summertime' by The Alarm, 'Good Life' by One Republic, and 'The Whole of the Moon' by The Waterboys remind me of the playground in the fall, when the vibrant green drained out of the small oak trees and the small yard next to the chapel became splashed with a caramel hue.

Although this playlist has 74 songs, there are only a handful of songs that bring me back to the carefree, playful days of elementary school. A few months ago I made a playlist called Songs that Remind Me of Second Grade.
