Just Add Water Man

your plastic soldiers charge
at my Barbie dolls
and i pretend as if this game has got too many days
too old
but as we make out a lego house
and talk of years gone by
the puzzle pieces are eaten by the dog

i put rouge on your cheeks
and paint on the nails
with some reluctance
of indifference i dont mind
or question
why your facial expression never changes

my just-add-water man the perfect man
i quite like you sat so silent
pretending you can speak and with
words we can hide or seek in the garden
or smash plates in the corner
of an antique store
and though you're not real
it's close enough for me
