Let's play a game of hearts and crosses. Let's draw some of those lines and box-in the crosses and win them with hearts drawn outside the lines.

let's look for patterns, let's plan our shots, let's contemplate moves,
let's draw our hearts and cross them out and laugh out loud when we lose.

Let's let the laughter ring out and fall around the squares until they bend inside out to look like confused lines on ivory.
Let's get up and sing our songs and tap the notes out with our feet on the soft wood.
Let's step out and let the icy, sparkly sunlight play on our skin and warm it like baked raisins.
Let's dip our feet in the glassy water and watch the fish nip our transparent nails.
Let's walk on shiny pebbles and let them slip in little games under our soft feet.
Let's lie on the startling green of the grass and let leafy shadows climb all over us.
Let's watch the rain come crashing down in little watery worlds and let them drown us.
Let's gaze at the stars and blink with them.
Let's step on them and hear them tinkle under our feet in little globules of white light in the dark night.

Let's...
Let us.
